Microsoft Azure BizTalk Services (MABS) is being retired, and replaced with Azure Logic Apps. If you currently use MABS, then Move from BizTalk Services to Logic Apps provides some guidance on moving your integration solutions to Logic Apps.

If you're brand new to Logic Apps, then we suggest getting started here:

Depending on the current state of the BizTalk service, there are operations that you can or cannot perform on the BizTalk service.

For example, you provision a new BizTalk service in the Azure classic portal. When it completes successfully, the BizTalk service is in active state. In the active state, you can stop, suspend, and delete the BizTalk service. If you stop the BizTalk service, and stop fails, then the BizTalk service goes to a StopFailed state. In the StopFailed state, you can restart the BizTalk service. If you try an operation that is not allowed, like resume, the following error occurs:

Operation not allowed

The following tables list the operations or actions that can be done when the BizTalk Service is in a specific state. A ✔ means the operation is allowed while in that state. A blank entry means the operation cannot be performed while in that state.
