I have not tried it so I don’t know why would get that error.
What I have it what I would expect it to look like. Maybe it doesn’t work on the Start Shape? I would think it should though.
Jon Flanders posted this to a reply to someone on my blog:
“You already can dynamically call and orchestration. If you put the correct XLANGs into a expression shape (the same that would be generated from a Call Orchestration shape) – you can dynamically call different orchestrations”Sorry I can not be of more help on this one.
Stephen,
I looked at the dynamic map example and tried to apply this to a dynamic exec. This is what I have. The expression editor doesn’t like the exec.
tOrchType is defined as System.Type as in your mapping example.Any ideas ?
tOrchType = System.Type.GetType(\”testdynamicexec.BizTalk_Orchestration2 , testdynamicexec, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=22ac5e671a17a7fb\”);
exec tOrchType (Port_2, Message_1);
// note the below is whats in the odx file for a start shape
//exec testdynamicexec.BizTalk_Orchestration2 (Port_2, Message_1);the error indicated on the exec part is Torchtype: can only call or exec a service
the error indicated on tOrchType is ‘TorchType’ is not a functionDon’t know how to get it inside the reference list.
I always browse to the location of the dll and add it that way.
If you are looking for something with Transactional Support, I don’t think you’d need a parallel action shape. You can just use a single Atomic Scope with the items in sequence.
I think you should use a BizTalk Send Port to send your file. I don’t think you can have a transaction around writing a file to the file system (without having a custom process to delete it).
You should be able to get a transaction around your database and the send port to send the file with little effort.
So, basically I’d remove the parallel action and focus on getting it to work inside a single Atomic Scope.
Hope this helps.
I have been a little out of the loop on WWF. I think they have a Beta 2 out there. You might have to be in the beta program to get it. You should find information on signing up at http://www.windowsworkflow.net. I guess the site says Beta 1.2 runs on 2005 RTM.
I would not recommend using BizTalk HW either. I have never looked it, but never heard anything really good about it.
I think they will have adaptors available for working with WWF in BizTalk 2006. But it might be some time before they are available. I would guess we’d see something on gotdotnet at some point.
Have you looked at K2? I have heard great things about it and it plays well with BizTalk from what I understand.
hi again.
After i read this link about WWF http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/WWFIntro.aspIf I understand correctly, it seems that:
– BizTalk 2006 does not seem to support WWF hosting (not at this point, maybe it will come a service pack or so later?)
– HWS in BizTalk 2006 is similar to 2004 version with no new features, and it sounds to me that no one recommend to use it. I spent a day to try out and it’s really complicated to understand.So I still have no answer of how can I integrate the current BizTalk orchestration into WWF, that seems to have a lot of work to be done here?
The WWF is not released yet, and the current beta 1 version does not compatible with VS2005 RTM version, as I tried (what’s going on with MS…)
Any recommendation? In which direction should I create a HW that can integrate with BizTalk 2006….?
hi Stephen,
I’m trying to build a simple HW based on the BizTalk, but the HWS seems to be far complicated and does not make much sense in many ways.With the WWF, seem that i need to do my own API programming to create a HW at this time? Are they any connections to the BizTalk 2006?
What is the simplest way to develop a HW at this time?
Thanks
I think the plan is to replace HWS with Windows Workflow Foundation. This is a standalone items right now, but will be build into and replace the Orchestration in BizTalk in later releases.
Right now, BizTalk just doesn’t do HW very well anyway.
If that is something you are working on right now, you might want to look at Windows Workflow Foundation Beta.
With SQL Adapter – ALWAYS check the event viewer – it will usually give a more specific error.

http://Biztalk-Training.com – Training VideosBiztalk 2004 cannot have Biztalk Databases on SQL 2005,
but Biztalk 2004 adapter can access data residing on SQL 2005.See my blog for further details.

2) Go to Admin Tools
3) Component (COM) Services
4) Expand Component Services down to \”My Computer\”
5) Right click properties.
6) Click tab MSDTC
7) Click button \”Security Configuration\” at lower left
8) Check \”Network DTC Access\” and \”Allow Remote Clients\”
9) I’m not positive, but might also have to check:
Allow Inbound, Allow Outbound, No Authenticiation Required
(might have to Google for exact settings)
10) Click OK, OK
11) Might have to stop/start MSDTC (right click on \”My Computer\”)Neal Walters
http://Biztalk-Training.com – Video TutorialsI have used Rules a lot in the past, but mostly for calling from an Orchestration.
You can copy a policy; it just takes a small amount of effort. You can take a completed policy and export it as Xml using the Rule Engine Deployment Wizard. Then, all you have to do is change the Policy Name and import it. Now, you have a copy of your Policy you can modify.
What I see as a big pain in vocabularies. When you use a vocabulary, it binds to a specific version of the vocabulary. So, if you create a new version you need to manually everything that uses the old version if you want to remove it.
From what I have found so far, it’s easier to think of the Rules as just Xml. The Rules Engine uses SQL as a store of for this Xml to make it faster. If you wanted, you could code all your rules in a text editor and just import them (as long as they followed the Xml schema the rules were expecting).
Oh, you might also want to look at Acuman Business (http://www.acumenbusiness.com/). They have a few cool tools for working with rules and I think they are free. I think they have a tool for updating vocabulary versions too.
Hope this helps.
When you right-click a btproj add select Add New Schema, various templates appear. I was hoping to add my own default schema with certain standard items setup for the client.
I scanned the hard disk for *schema*.* looking for anything like schema.xsd or propertyschema.xsd that might also have the word \”template\” in the directory name, and didn’t see anything.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
Thanks,
