That sounds plausible: I'll give it a go - thanks!

Hi guys can I dynamically set the "Called Orchestration" property of a "CallOrchestration" shape? Thx Bob

I have transaction set to "none" as I shouldn't really need one. I can email the solution to you... Sorry for all the hassle - and thanks for the patience so far!

Ok this is becoming more wierd and irritating(!) I have an orchestration that does the following: - <Receives> a message from a CSV text file into a schema - <Constructs> a new message based on a new schema using a map within a <transformation> - Uses an <expression> to capture the of the...

Hi Stephan actually I am having trouble with this (sorry). When I receive a message I can retrieve its BTS.MessageID into a System.String variable. Fine. Then I use a map to transform it into a new message. In any expression after that the BTS.MessageID for the new message is null. It says...

Perfect! I bought the book MS BizTalk Server 2004 Unleashed, and find this a great source for info for certain things (like building components in C#), but it is not designed to get at this sort of basic info. Could you recommend a good source for this sort of thing? I owe you beers already. Bob

I'll keep going since I am receiving such helpful - and almost instant! - support... Believe it or not I have actually managed to answer some questions myself, so this is only the tip of the iceberg ;-) --- I am getting a bit ahead of myself here, but I hope I can make clear what I am trying...

Hi again I am processing an XML message which has an element that represents an internal MessageID. What would be nice would be to assign to that element the %MessageID% BizTalk has given the message within the orchestration ... can I do this and, if so, how?? Alternatively, is there a message...

OK thx again I don't think that was exactly the problem but I was able to use a similar technique to prevent the unwanted nodes being created. Thanks for your help! Bob

Hi again guys another one that is probably very simple: I have a simple flat structure that I am mapping to a complex structure (that is generated by the company I work for). The map populates one (and only one) record structure from a number of choices at a particular level in the schema. All...

Thx Stephan the stuff about the variable in the map is not so important becase I guess I can embed it inside another input xml.. (is that right). The issue arises because the map uses that same value many times, so I did not want to have to type it in each time. Cheers Bob

Hi guys I am a BizTalk n00b, so apols in advance for silly questions... I have just started playing with the app (and like it) with a view to verifying that I can get it to relatively easily do the sort of stuff I have had to do in the past using bespoke C# apps. (1) --- I have a...
