        I haven’t done a lot of work with flat files (and most of what I have done is in reading flat files, not writing them), but I think this is all you need to do:
        1) Create a flat file schema
        2) Create a map and map from xml schema to flat file schema
        3) Create a \”Send Pipeline\”. Drag the \”Flat File\” assembler shape in the toolbox to the \”Assemble\” phase of the pipeline. Probably specify the property \”Document Schema\”.

            Hi,

            I can’t believe I can’t easily do that ! I just want to generate a file with my [i:39a86bab0b]XML [/i:39a86bab0b]msg. The aim of this solution is to generate 2 files :
            [list:39a86bab0b]-The first one is a flat file. It is constructed from the incoming message. That one is ok
            – The other one must be a [b:39a86bab0b]new generated text file[/b:39a86bab0b] during the orchestration.[/list:u:39a86bab0b]
            But the result is like this :
            [code:1:39a86bab0b]<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
            <string>… GL07 process …</string>[/code:1:39a86bab0b]
            However, I would like a file with that inside :
            [code:1:39a86bab0b]… GL07 process …[/code:1:39a86bab0b]
            So, do I need to code a custom [i:39a86bab0b]pipeline[/i:39a86bab0b] just like in the BT2K6 samples ? Or create a schema, a map then used the flat file pipeline ?

            Any help is welcome…

            Thanks !

                Sorry… it’s done, but I don’t think by the best way:

                [list:f92141b2e7]1. Actually, I’ve created a schema with only one attribute field.
                2. Then I’ve created a map between the incoming message and the previous schema.
                3. Then I use a transform shape.
                4. Finally, in a new send pipeline, I have linked the schema with a flat file assembler shape.[/list:u:f92141b2e7]
                It may be possible to do this more easily… [size=9:f92141b2e7]but it doesn’t matter ’cause it works ![/size:f92141b2e7]

                    Actually I wasn’t far from the truth…
                    So, thank you one more time Neal !

                There is an easy way if you just want to send a simple string.

                Use the RawString Formatter
                [url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sdk/htm/ebiz_prog_email_ibad.asp[/url]

                You can then just create a message of type RawString and send it to a file
