hi Stephen,

We have multiple files to be transfer, so is it work for the same?

Can you just tell me how to add FILE adapter without using orchestration?

Thanks

Steve,

I wanted to bind the ports by configuring the application through biztalk admin console.

Anyways, I fixed the problem. I created a brand new solution and added all the artefacts to it and now I am able to configure the application….

I appreciate the help

Thanks for the help
How Host Integration Server helps in connecting to db2 with BizTalk Server 2004. will it be useful in any way.

Both Attunity (http://www.attunity.com/biztalk/index.html) and WRQ (http://www.attachmate.com/en-US/Partners/BizTalk+Server) offer DB2 adapters. I have no clue how much the cost.

I have not worked with either one myself though.

You do not really need any Orchestration for this.
You could just use BizTalk messaging.

Create a Receive Port using the File adapter to pick up your file using *.txt, *.xml, *.*, anything. Make sure you use the Pass Through Pipeline.
Then, create a Send Port using the File adapter and Pass Through Pipeline. Create a Filer on the Send Port using BTS.ReceivedPortName = your_port_name.

That should do it.

Sorry, I didn’t follow your 2nd point. What did you want to do again?

Steve,

Thanks for the input.

I would check to see if being a member of SSO group helps.

Now coming to the second point, I wanted to bind ports while configuring the application and the host is availbale and running.

Sorry guys,

In above posted issue i have mentioned that we want to transfer file from one database to another database…Here i want to correct my mistake that i want to transfer files from one location to another location regardless of its content.

First Point: BizTalk give you a consistent approach to solving your integration problems. You are able to leverage the graphical development environment, BAM, and all the pre built adapters. Plus, if someone builds an Orchestration it is usually easier to component, read, and understand then a generic web service.

Second Point: If you let Biztalk call the partner web service directly you can build into your Orchestration a retry and recovery process. You can let Biztalk do some of the harder work for you like managing the retrys and resubmits. If you use Delivery Notification, then your Orchestration will wait until your call timeout – otherwise your Orchestration will terminate and your messages will error or succeed in the Send Pipeline.

Hope this helps.

You might want to make sure you are a member of the SSO Admin group as well, although you shouldn’t need it.

Also, make sure you have a host defined for the Orchestration and all the ports are bound.

Thanks so much, Jim, for your real-life example. I can now definitely see the value in organizing things as my instructor described.

We have created a custom pipeline using the HL7 accelerater and we would like add some unit testing functionality to the project.

In fact, going further, to make this completely programmatic you can make use of the PipelineObjects assembly in the same location. You can call this as shown below to exceute an arbitrary pipeline as a unit test.

In this case I am just calling the standard passthru receive pipeline and passing a simple xml message. I then output the resulting message at the end of the pipeline showing the same message as was entered.

PipelineFactory factory = new PipelineFactory();

string pipelineName = \”Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines.PassThruReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35\”;

IPipeline p = factory.CreatePipelineFromType(pipelineName);

MessageFactory msgFactory = new MessageFactory();
IBaseMessage message = msgFactory.CreateMessage ();
IBaseMessageContext context = msgFactory.CreateMessageContext();
PipelineContext ctx = new PipelineContext();

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(\”<test><this>is a test</this></test>\”);

IBaseMessagePart part = msgFactory.CreateMessagePart();
Stream s = new MemoryStream();
doc.Save(s);
s.Seek(0,0);
part.Data = s;
message.AddPart(\”part\”,part,true);
p.InputMessages.Add (message);

p.Execute(ctx);

IBaseMessage output = p.GetNextOutputMessage(ctx);
while (output != null)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[output.BodyPart.Data.Length];
output.BodyPart.Data.Read(buffer,0,(int)output.BodyPart.Data.Length);
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
string result = new string(encoding.GetChars(buffer));
Console.WriteLine(result);
output = p.GetNextOutputMessage(ctx);
}

you’ll need to add the following ‘using’ clauses to the class file to compile it:

using Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop; // from microsoft.biztalk.pipeline.dll
using Microsoft.Test.BizTalk.PipelineObjects; // from PipelineObjects.dll
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;

well, you could call pipeline.exe (<installlocation>\\SDK\\Utilities\\PipelineTools) to execute your pipeline programmatically. This utility allows you to pass in the document (message) and schema and obtain the resulting message at the end of the pipeline.

high

thank you very much we got basic binding file from same steps

[community-content]

Well, the migration wizard supports schema and map upgrades.

I’d suggest trying that first but not to hold your breath. I have not heard many good things about it.

If they were simple map, I’d probably just dive right in and remap them.

Best of luck.
