Hello Everyone,
I’ve been doing the tutorials from the new Windows Azure BizTalk Services, and I wanted to share a few things I’ve discovered with the new mapper.
The new transform capability is XAML based by default, not XSLT. There is however XSLT support by separately creating your XSLT and referencing it from the TRFM by clicking in the empty space of the mapping surface and setting the XSLT property:
Next, the CSharp Scripting “Map Operation”. The “Text” field is where you put your custom C# method, and it must be public in scope, or you will get a compilation error:
“Compilation failed during XAML generation. Error(s) encountered while validating the generated activity :
The private implementation of activity ‘1: DynamicActivity’ has the following validation error: Compiler error(s) encountered processing expression “genScriptInstance.getLastName(TypeConverter.ToString(ObjectHelper.GetPathValue(srcRoot1, wfPfc23)))”.
‘getLastName’ is not a member of ‘Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Integration.Transforms.GeneratedScriptClass’.”
Making the method public results in a successful compile.
Finally, if you are doing the first Tutorial (“Create the Agreement” – Step 4), you will need to extract the sample EDI file from the old April 2012 Release, as I can’t seem to find it anywhere in the SDK samples from the July 2013 release.
I’m sure there will be more, so if I find more, I’ll post additional information.
Cheers,
Dan
