        HI everyone,

         

        i am wondering how to promote a node which will not be unique. In my schema PO# and Line#  both are together unique. is there any to promote the combination of these two fields .

         

        Thanks

          Hi Ram,

          Only unique elements can be promoted and two elements *cannot* be promoted to create one unique field 'out of the box' – have a look at for more information http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561059.aspx. I think you could probably fudge something with distinguished fields
          but I doubt it'll be supported by Microsoft, but properties promoted in
          a custom pipeline component from a combination would be possible

          If you need to read read the value of a repeating element in an orchestration, you'll need to dive out to XPath in an Expression shape. 

          Hope this helps,

          Nick.

              Hi Nick,

               Thanks for the prompt reply. Can you provide sample to do it custom pipe. As i need to combine two feilds and promote them,or do i need to promote two fields. will that makes anything complicated as i need them in BAM.

               Thanks

                  Ram,

                  Happy to provide an example, however it would be good to get a better idea of what you are trying to acheive so we don't go down the wrong path.

                  Nick.
