Today, after almost 3 years since I did the last update on the package, I updated it with a new suite of functoids that are now part of the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack project available for BizTalk Server 2020: DateTime Functoids.

DateTime Functoids

This library includes a suite of functoids to perform several DateTime operations that you can use inside the BizTalk mapper.

This project, for now, only contains a single custom Functoid:

  • Get Current Date Functoid: This functoid allows you to get the current date and/or time in a specific format.
    • This functoid requires one input parameter:
      • date, time, or DateTime format;
    • Examples:
      • Input yyyyMMdd >>> Output = 20230526
      • Input HHmm >>> Output = 1519

BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack

BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack is a set of libraries with several useful functoids to include and use it in a map, which will provide an extension of BizTalk Mapper capabilities.
