        Hello,

        Is it possible to use the XLANG ‘exec’ command to start a dynamically determined orchestration?

        Basically, it would be nice if we could do:

        exec varSomeOrchestrationType(parameter1);

        instead of:

        exec ConcreteOrchestrationType(parameter1);

        Is this possible? I’m pretty sure it is not, but it would be a very useful feature.

        Thanks.

            [quote:dab3feaa3e=\”Stephen W. Thomas\”]John Flanders said it’s possible to dynamically start or call an Orchestration. I have not tried to do it, but you might want to check out http://www.masteringbiztalk.com.

            It should be possible using a method similar to how you dynamically call a map.

            I didn’t find any articles on his site regarding this, but Google pointed me back to a comment he made on your blog. His comment states:

            call NS.BizTalk_Orchestration2 (Variable_1);

            But you have to know the type at compile time. Someone futher down in the comments mentions this and hints that you might be able to use a Type instance in the call to exec; I’ll have to investigate that as I never really considered that option…

            Thanks again.
