FYI: I changed the Functoid’s ConnectionType and Category due to connect it to a scripting functoid.

this.Category = FunctoidCategory.String;
this.OutputConnectionType = ConnectionType.All;
AddInputConnectionType(ConnectionType.All);

Otherwise it doen’t work (I’m using BTS 2009).

Furthermore I experienced problems when trying to read an orchestration variable that is not used within an orchestration scope.
When I assign a value to the variable in an expression shape on top level (no orchestration scope), the Functoid always returned null because in the Functoids RetrieveVariableFromField – method a NullObjectReference – Exception is thrown when trying to retrieve the value (fieldInfo.GetValue(xLangContext) is null).
Seems like the variables value is not persisted somehow.

A dummy usage (e.g. writing the variables value to the event log) in a sub-scope solved the issue.

So long,

I have a situation where I have a schema provided to me from an external trading partner that has a Record named “Client” and in that Record is an attribute named “ClientID” and also an element named “ClientID”.

I have an internal version of this schema which is basically a direct clone with some routing properties I’ve added for promotion and also some system specific attributes we use internally.

In my map I am trying to do a one to one from attribute to attribute and element to element but everything I’ve tried automatically links the attribute from my source schema (internal cloned version) to both the attribute and element in the destination schema. I can’t get it to map element to element. None of the options for auto link work and even when I directly try to link from element to element it ignores me and automatically links from the attribute to the element. It’s driving me insane!

Back in the days when I was working with BizTalk 2004 I alwa ……

I believe you can use ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\3.0\ProductEdition’ for this purpose.
I’m not sure of all the possible values. ‘Developer’ is the only value I checked.

Could you inform me, if there is any key in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\x.x

which contains type of edition, e.g. Developer, Enterprise?

And could you paste here full key name and ProductVersion value of any BizTalk version?

I just got it working under BizTalk 2010, just a minor thing, the pipeline components dlls are supposed to be copied to /Pipeline Components, and don’t need to be gaced.

I don’t know why biztalk set it to the inner type (though MessageType is set to the envelope type). I have simple req-res port with my pipeline with that component and standard xmldasm component – nothing special.

I ended up setting SchemaStrongName property manually. I made a wrapper component for XmlDasmCom, promote PromotePropertiesOnly before Disassemble call, then in GetNext I copy source message with all its parts and context and modify SchemaStrongName.

Works pretty decent now.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay. In my case after XmlReceive pipeline is executed the message type is that of the envelope message.

I wonder why you get the inner message type instead of the envelope message type. Can you tell how your solution looks at the receive side? ports, messages, pipelines, etc.?

I always take compiler warnings seriously and at least inves ……

Thanks for your message.

It is probably not surprising but I never had to deal with traditional chinese characters in my solutions . Anyway I wonder what the value of the FILE.ReceivedFileName. As far as I understand your solution the incoming file already contains chinese characters, right? Use Tracking or write System.Diagnostics.Debug.Writeline(tmpString) in your orchestration to find out how the filename looks when it has arrived in BizTalk.

to ftp flder. if I copy a file manually to FTP folder the file name show normally.
below is my code in orchestration file. any help would be appreciate.

msgSend=msgReceive;

tmpString=msgReceive(FILE.ReceivedFileName);
tmpVar=tmpString.Substring(tmpString.LastIndexOf(“\\”)+1); //get file name without directory

tmpFilename=tmpVar.Substring(tmpVar.LastIndexOf(“_”)+1); //get last part of file name after character “_”

msgSend(FILE.CopyMode)=2;
msgSend(FTP.RepresentationType)=”binary”;

msgSend(FTP.UserName) = “user”;
msgSend(FTP.Password) = “123″;
msgSend(FTP.BeforePut) = “CWD //opt/user/Unit Test/”;

SendFolder(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address) = “ftp://abc.com” +”//opt/user/Unit Test/” + tmpFilename;

ps: SendFolder is send port. file name like NET_林頓際資合健康金.pdf. send pipeline is Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines.PassThruTransmit.

thanks again for you read my mail.
my personal email is angel.34@163.com. looking forward to your reply.

Does this property affect validation i.e. if PromotePropertiesOnly is true, will validation be performed

You can find my e-mail address on the about page of this blog.

Yes you can use a map that has the enveloppe message as a source in the receive port.
