Hello, I'm trying to assign a variable to a schema node by using below code, for SQL Adapter promoted schema element for SQL Insert opearation through stored procedure SP_UPDATE_Interface_Call_Track . Ok, with below expression, I'm not seeing any syntactical errors around my Expression in Message...

The thing I like best about working on group projects is the fact that you get to pick up some really good tricks from others that you didn’t previously know about but they might just take for granted. On my current project I had my young and bright colleague Shikhar Bhagat show me a trick with...

In the previous installment of this series on refactoring BizTalk maps I discussed how you could take the easy road to ensure your maps work when the target namespace of your schema changes, or if the schema is moved to a different project or had it’s .NET type name changed. In this new entry to...

On the very first BizTalk project I worked on, refactoring was a really bad word that almost brought our Gantt chart to its knees. As with many agile projects, evolving requirements required changes to schemas, these changes often being major structural changes which broke all the maps they were being...

Well, I decided to take a few minutes of my vacation to play a little with … BizTalk, renew some knowledge, answer a few emails and maybe try to answer some questions on the forums. This exercise (or pattern) is actually from a question that I found on the forums: Reg BizTalk Mapping, which I ...

Hi all, quite new to Biztalk Development I'm facing a problem or design question, I couldn't find any close answer to. I have to do a mapping between a standard SAP idoc and a custom datamaster schema. The idoc schema contains several segments, recurring several times. Within this segments I...

Hi guys, If you create a canonical model and you would like to store some routing information, where do you store it? For example, you have a Person canonical and depending on the content, it must be send to Ax or AD (Active Directory). You could create a routing complex type and add this to your canonical...

In my last mapping pattern post, I explained how and described the pros and cons of four methods to accomplish a mapping from hierarchical schema to a name value pair… so the logically next step would be to describe the inverse process. When I decided to implement this mapping I really thought it would...

In this new mapping pattern I want to show you how can you transform an hierarchical schema into a Name/Value Pair record. The first thing we need to know is how I can read the name of the element from the source schema. By default when we drag a link from the source to the [...] Blog Post by: Sandro...

The out of the box unit test framework for BizTalk maps leaves a lot to be desired. Effectively a Visual Studio map unit test is the equivalent of choosing to validate your map, which involves running an instance of an input message through your map and validating the output of the map against it’s...

This is a bit of a strange one, but I was wondering if anyone might have seen it before and know of a cure. Basically, we have updated a schema and the format has radically changed. The schema was used in a number of maps, so these have also been updated. When testing one of the maps (Visual Studio right...

I have an input schema similar to this: Header --itemNumber Detail --lineItemNum --Status I am mapping to a schema similar to this: root ----itemNumber ----Notes Item number maps straight across. lineItemNum and Status are concatenated and separated via a comma and each loop on detail is separated by...

I have a very complex input message whose node names and values I need to regurgitate (without any namespace info) to the output as though viewing the document in a browser using an XSL stylesheet. I do not need to map any of the individual source XML elements to corresponding target elements. The output...

Hi together, hope some great Gurus are here. ;-) I'm trying to do some XML-Mappings with BTM and having the following problem: source-XML: <root> <sender> <name>Donald</name> </sender> <receiver> <name>Dagobert</name> </receiver> </root>...

Debatching can be done several different ways in BizTalk 2004. With a few message box hops, debatching can be done with a few maps and an envelope schema in pure messaging. This sample shows a map for Sorting, a map for Grouping, and the Envelope for debatching. This sample will work in BizTalk 2004...

This sample shows how a map can be called dynamically inside an Orchestration in Biztalk. This can allow for the map to be set at run time by setting a message context property or reading the value from the SSO or database. This can greatly reduce effort if a single business process is used for many...

This map sample shows how to suppress nodes inside a map by passing false from a logical functoid. The blog post below gives more detail on the sample. The mapper in BizTalk 2004 makes it easy to suppress nodes inside the mapper. The key is to send the looping node a "false" from a Logical...

This mapping sample shows how to create repeating nodes from flat data inside the mapper. This sample also shows the use of some custom XSLT code inside the BizTalk mapper. This sample works with BizTalk 2004 and BizTalk 2006. Get more information from the original blog post on this topic: http://www...
