      I’m not a biztalk user, but we have a partner that is generating a XML message with Biztalk 2002.  I’m guessing it’s not used much since the forum fields questions from 2004 and up.  In our schema, we have a few fields that are optional, but if you use them we expect data in them.  Our partner states that they can’t dynamically include these tags conditionally.  They have to either always include them, or always exclude them.  If they do include them, and they have no data, we currently see this as an error and respond accordingly.  We can change our process, but ideally we’d like them to only send the tags when they are relevant.  Are they correct in stating that this is not an option in biztalk 2002?

      Hi,

      I don’t know if this is true about 2002, but we have a similar issue with one of our trading partners and had to remove the empty tags in the receive pipeline to stop such problems occurring (an empty numeric is obvisouly going throw errors).

      Might be an option to prevent the need to change other parts of your system.

      Cheers

      Stu.
