I am not sure about when should we use BTAHL72x instead of BTAHL72XML send/receive pipelines in biztalk and vice versa.
The BTAHL72XReceive/BTAHL72XSend pipelines are for parse and serialize the Flat File messages.
For XML messages then you have to use the BTAHL72XML pipelines.

We have a requirement where we need to send .avro file as an input request to our API's. Really stuck at this point. If any detail example provided would be more appreciated.
Just use Java interop: https://github.com/intuit/karate#calling-java
You need to write a helper (start with a static method) to convert JSON to Avro and vice versa. I know teams using this for gRPC. Read this thread for tips: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/412
Also there is even a "karate-grpc" project: https://github.com/pecker-io/karate-grpc

I need to transform POST data to a recordset in an IBM i system. For this purpose I'm using API QtmhCvtDB.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_71/rzaie/rzaieapi_qtmhcvtdb.htm
But I'm doing it out of CGI stack, I'm doing it implementing command bus pattern, then I get:
Response code -5
This API is not valid when a program is not called by HTTP Server. No data parsing is done.
Is there something like QtmhCvtDB but executable from whole system?
A while back I set up BizTalk to pick up a file via FTP and drop it into a network directory. It's all passsthru so I didn't use an orchestration.
Now I've been asked to execute a stored procedure once the file is picked up. The procedure contains no parameters and I do not need the contents of the file.
It seems like such a simple request but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to do this without over complicating things?
This can be accomplished through the use of either the WCF-SQL adapter or the WCF_Custom adapter with a SQL binding. You can do this using messaging only with just a SendPort with a filter/map on it thus no orchestration needed.
For the SOAP action header use TypedProcedure/dbo/name_of_your_stored_procedure and in the messages tab you can specify the paramters to the stored procuders as well as add a payload in the following manner:
<name_of_your_stored_procedure xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/TypedProcedures/dbo">
<parameter1>XXXX</parameter1>
<xml_parameter>
<bts-msg-body xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/bts2007" encoding="string"/>
</xml_parameter>
</name_of_your_stored_procedure>
In the above case xml_parameter will have the contents of the message payload passed to it.
The stored procedure should look something like :
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[name_of_your_stored_procedure]
#parameter1 int,
#xml_parameter nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
-- your code goes here
END

This MSDN page describes the process and has this to say: "You must create a BizTalk orchestration to use BizTalk Server for performing an operation on SQL Server."
However if you're really desperate not to use an orchestration I believe you have the option of setting the operation context property in a custom pipeline component. Then you can initialise the message in a map on a port. In theory this should work but I can't guarantee it.
I want to create a send port that writes all messages going in and out of BizTalk to file.
My organization is using Splunk. Splunk will import data from the file directory to make sense of the various messages.
Is it possible to create filter in a send port that subscribes to "everything"? I could solve this by applying filter for each message type in my system. However, there is a lot of messages going back and forth and I'm wondering if there a simpler solution?
I'm using BizTalk 2013.
Yes, just filter on message type like you said, but rather than selecting = and specifying the message type, just select Exists. That will then match any message that has a message type.
EDIT:
As Johns-305 has pointed out if you have any messages that don't have a message type (e.g. pass through receive locations) you may want to pick BTS.MessageID as that will always exist for a message in the message box.
The ESB Toolkit 2.1 has the ALL.Exceptions send port using the old SQL adapter.
But the BizTalk Health Monitor reports ...
Non WCF SQL adapter used in some Send Ports
Prefer to use the WCF one which is more performant !
Is there any way to update to the WCF.SQL adapter?
Yes this is possible. It will however include some custom development.
You will need to create a map between the FaultMessage schema (in Microsoft.Practices.ESB.ExceptionHandling.Schemas.Reporting.dll) and the usp_insert_Fault schema (created using the Consume Adapter Service in Visual Studio, from the usp_insert_Fault SP in the EsbExceptionDb database), as the old SQL Adapter uses a different schema layout to execute a stored procedure.
Required Steps:
Change the Transport Type of the ALL.Exceptions port to WCF-SQL
Set the Address: mssql://SQLServer:1433/SQLInstance/EsbExceptionDb?
Set the Action: TypedProcedure/dbo/usp_insert_Fault
Change the ESBFaultProcessor Send Pipeline to use your custom map in the ESB Transform Component
EDIT: Note: The solution described here does not include the Message and its Context like the map with the SQL Adapter does. To accomplish this, you should make use of Composite Operation to insert into multiple tables in one transaction.
