Approach to extract inner-schema XML values for mapping to orchestration's inbound schema

There are several application systems that pass messages to each other as part of their work process. Due to technical constraints revolving transactional integrity, the application data and message delivery are all committed into a single mainframe DB2 database. The messages are not directly passed to BizTalk server (2006 R2); it is up ...

Mocking WebService consumed by a Biztalk Request-Response port

I'm using BizUnit to unit-tests my Biztalk orchestrations, but some orchestrations consume a WebService,and testing these seems more like integration testing than unit testing. I'm familiar with using a mocking framework to mock the generated proxy objects, in order to test a web service from a Windows Forms application, but I would lik...

BizTalk 2006 Tutorial 1: EDI-to-XML Document Translation

I cannot find the translated file after running the solution in BizTalk 2006 Tutorial Lesson 3: Run the EDI-to-XML Solution. It should be placed in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 \EDI\Adapter\Getting Started with EDI\Northwind\In folder.

Automatic BizTalk Versioning in My Build Process

In all of my other .net apps my build process (a mixture of nant and custom tasks) automatically updates the [AssemblyVersionAttribute] AssemblyInfo.cs with the current build number before the call to msbuild, stamping in the build number in the version number. I'm now working on my first BizTalk project and I'd like to do the same thin...

BizTalk MSMQ userid and password in a bindings file

I'm setting up a solution to deploy, driven by a batch file so it's reproducible - I've got a binding file that works but I've now added on my MSMQ adapters - works on my local machine, but I've found I have to add a userid and password to get it to work on the actual server - it's in the domain, my virtual dev machine is just workgr...

Un-enlisting a BizTalk MSMQ send port in batch file

I've got a solution which I setup / cleanup using batch files ... - there are a pair of MSMQ ports, send and receive, with another application on the end of the queues I'm finding I can't properly stop the orchestration in the batch file ... the error is the send port is unenlisted - I'm using the StopOrch.vbs script from the SDK sampl...

What is the scope of a Static Class?

Howdy, I have an assembly that may be used by more than one process at a time. If I am using a static class, would the multiple processes all use the same "instance" of that class? Since the processes are separate, would these be running under difference Application Domains, hence have the static "instances" separate? The pudding...

BizTalk publish net.tcp WCF service

Is anybody familiar with setting up WCF-nettcp adapters for BTS? When I create a WCF-netTcp adapter for a Receive location, I am unsure how/when BTS will open up port 808 to listen on the address URI specified. It appears to only happen if I restart the entire BizTalk application. If it closes for some reason, I do not see any way of re...

How can I still use DDD, TDD in BizTalk?

Nodes in an XML document

I have designed a xml schema to parse an incoming xml document. The receive location gets xml documents from 2 feeds, one of them has misspelled a node in the document, "Roookie" instead of "Rookie", Is there a way to have my existing xsd parse this document? ...

How to use an AppDomain to limit a static class' scope for thread-safe use?

Howdy, I have been bitten by a poorly architected solution. It is not thread safe! I have several shared classes and members in the solution, and during development all was cool...

upgrading Biztalk 2004 to Biztalk 2006 R2

I have a client running a 1/2 dozen or so orchestrations running on Biztalk 2004 (that I wrote) that they use to exchange cXML documents (mostly too send orders) with their suppliers. It has a ASP.NET 1.1 front end. It uses the SQL adapter to store the parsed cXML. I gets & sends the documents via HTTPS. My question: Is the upgrade to Bi...

BizTalk Simultaneous Receive Problem

I have a receive port with two FILE receive locations polling the same network share. The only difference between the receive locations is that they use a different file mask. They both use a custom pipeline with single Flat file disassembler component. I have a send port subscribing to the receive port. (this is just the minimal setup w...

BizTalk Looping Functoid

Hi, I have a structured XML file format that needs to be mapped to a flatter XML format. Ordinarily I would create a custom XSLT file for this and have the BizTalk map use it. However, I do like the idea of using the graphical maps where possible - it's all too easy to dive straight into XSLT but not so easy for those following you to q...

Windows Command Line: Non Evaluation of Environment Variable

I would like to provide the raw text referring to an environment variable to a command instead of evaluating the environment variable. I need this to configure BizTalk from the command line, for example: BTSTask.exe AddResource -ApplicationName:App1 -Type:System.BizTalk:BizTalkAssembly -Overwrite -Source:..\Schemas\bin\development\Ap...

BizTalk SOAP port password in binding file

I've inherited a BizTalk 2006 applicaton that uses serveral SOAP ports to request data from a 3rd party web service. The web service is secured by "basic" authentication - username / password. After making a few enhancements to the application I deployed to an integration test server which has access to the 3rd party web service. The Biz...
