BizTalk Server 2020 – 20 days, 20 posts – day 9. This week I decide to start migrating a project that I enjoy and use them in several of my clients: BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions UtilityPack. And the first component that I choose was: Local Archive Pipeline Component.

Local Archive Pipeline
Component

BizTalk Server Local Archive pipeline component it’s a pipeline component that can be used for archiving incoming/outgoing message from any adapters. It will provide the following capabilities :

It can be used in any stage of a receive pipeline or send pipeline;
It can be used in multiple stages of a receive pipeline or send pipeline;
It provides an option for you to specify the location path for where you want to save the message: local folder, shared folder, network folder.
It can be used from any adapter:
- If the adapter provides the ReceivedFileName property promoted like the File adapter or FTP adapter the component will take this value in consideration and save the message with the same name;
- Otherwise, it will use the MessageID, saving the file with the MessageID has its name without extension.

The component has two parameters:

PerformBackup: True/False value to enable or disable the archive functionality;
Folder: Local (or shared) folder for where you want to perform the archive of the message;

What is BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack?

BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack is a set of custom pipeline components (libraries) with several custom pipeline components that can be used in received and sent pipelines, which will provide an extension of BizTalk out-of-the-box pipeline capabilities.

The project is available on the BizTalk Server Open Source Community repository on GitHub (https://github.com/BizTalkCommunity), and everyone can contribute with new pipeline components that can be extended or improve the existing BizTalk Server capabilities.
