"They are positional flat file" – sorry this is wrong, I shouldn't have repeated that. They are delimited flat file. The ISA header is 106 bytes positional with delimiters, the rest is delimited. R2 is expected this fall.

I was able to remove the extra line feed in the custom flat file disassembler.  But then I started getting another error. Biztalk was throwing an error while validating the instance.

The main problem is that the records in my flat file don't have any tag identifiers. If the MaxOccurs property for a repeating record is unbounded then I think tag identifiers are mandatory. Only then can Biztalk identify what type of record it is.

Now I've got 3 options

1. Tell the client to add tag identifier

2. Add tag identifiers in the custom flat file dissasembler

3. Remove the trailer record in the custom flat file dissasembler.

I leaning towards the 2nd option.

 

If anyone wants a code sample on how to modify the file in a custom flat file disassembler, let me know.

 

Thanks,

Mahesh's suggestion is good for orchestration level but if you use publish/subscribe on MessageBox the way is inappropriate.

Hi,

Have you had a look at Foundations of BizTalk 2006? It is aimed at the beginner starting from the ground up.

I also found these Microsoft tutorials very useful when I first started BizTalk. They are step by step and easy to follow.

Regards,

Ryan

Is there any chance that while in production you will need to update one of the applications but not the other?  Generally when you install an application you need to bounce the host(s) that the applicaiton is dependent upon.  This could lead to a disruption for application(s) that do not require updating.

 Also, if you get into a situation where you need to scale your apps out, you may be limited because everything is tighly coupled within one host.  You essentially need to scale out your whole app when you may just need to scale out the Send, Process or Receive function(s)

So when you moved SSO into a new group I take it you also created a new Server Name alias and ip address for this new SSO cluster group.   If so then did you change the SSO Server name in the BizTalk Group properties?  You will need to update the group to point to the new Server Name – or clustered resource server name that the SSO noew belongs to.

 We went through a process of moving our SSO off of our BizTalk App servers and onto our SQL Cluster and did not have to re-install anything on the Biztalk server, we did have to make the change I mentioned above though.

 Hope this helps

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you would want to turn DeliveryNotification=transmitted, on the logical send port for the file to be sent, if you use this pattern.

 Another option would be to use BAM…but that is something you probably do not want to explore unless you have the infrastructure already set up.  Mahesh's suggestion is probably a better alternative.

I found the tutorials… and they help too.  But the problem is, they have quite a bit built for you already, and don't go into details about what it took to build all those behind the scenes files they point you to.  That's where I get lost.

Thanks for the feedback though!

dm – there should be a tutorial that comes with Biztalk that is good for the first couple of lessons. -wa

have you tried creating a trailer record in the schema? Paste a  sample file..ill check it out.

The flat file I need to read is a positional flat file with records being de-limited by CRLF. The document has repeating records and then a trailer record.

If I keep the MaxOccurs property of the repeating record to a fixed number (i.e. the no of records in the instance file) then the pipeline works properly. The extra line feed at the end does not cause any problem because it knows when to stop.

But when I change the MaxOccurs to unbounded, then it starts giving this error.

I have tried changing the Child Order to postfix, infix.. nothing works.

 

I am now trying to remove the extra line feed in my custom flat file disassembler. I still haven't had any luck. Will let u know it it works out.

 

Thanks for the replies,

You could use a send shape right after the send shape that sends shape that sends the file. For error handling u could use scope and excecption handler, the communication is sync so this should solve the problem unless u think otherwise.

[community-content]

ok heres the deal, ipc is the new communication used by .net framework 2.0, and like i guessed first, problem is ur client does not have access to write to the ipc port(ipc works only for processes on the same machine) , so you will have to make changes in either the client or the server(in this case client is biztalk, server i think may be  a windows service, Im guessing coz i dont know abt the adapter).
