Biztalk Map

I Have a scripting functois where i need to convert int to string and i am using the below function
Public string MyFunct(int Farecard)
String st;
st = Farecard.ToString();
return st;
but i am getting the below errrors
warning CS1709: Filename specified for preprocessor directive is empty
error CS1519: Invalid token 'string' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
can you give me any idea on this?

public string Convert(int i)
return i.ToString();
But again: Don't do it, doesn't make sense when working in XSLT to do this!
Also the input parameter (int i), might not even work, since it is not an int you are sending to the function, but a string.

I have to count the distinct Entities based on ccx_immunizationid value & also I have to group the fields if both entity has same immunization ID. If the xml file (without namespace) and the field is <ccx_immunizationid>2323</ccx_imunizationid>,
I can use something like below,
<xsl:template match="//Entity/Attributes[not(./ccx_immunizationid= preceding::ccx_immunizationid)]">
but here, I have to look for the key 'ccx_immunizationid' and its value.
I am using custom xslt in BizTalk map. Please help. Thanks.
Regards,
Lakshmi

You need to get the distinct record filtered by "value" field whose "key" is "ccx_immunizationid" i.e <c:key>ccx_immunizationid</c:key>".
So you need to use the XPath with syntax:
/*[not(@name = preceding::*/@name)]
So in your case, the XPath value will be like the following:
/*[local-name()='RetrieveMultipleResponse' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services']/*[local-name()='RetrieveMultipleResult' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services']/*[local-name()='Entities' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts']/*[local-name()='Entity' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts']/*[local-name()='Attributes' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts']/*[local-name()='KeyValuePairOfstringanyType' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts'][*[local-name()='key' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic']/text() ='ccx_immunizationid'][not(*[local-name()='value' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic'] = preceding::*[local-name()='value' and namespace-uri()='http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic'])]
You may need to change the namespaces according to yours. This XPath would give you an idea of how to use the distinct XPath (1.0) snystax as shown above in your XML.

BizTalk map Julian date

Hi,
how can i convert date into julian date in BT map.
Thanks in adv.
2Venture2

Try this in BizTalk map via an inline C# scripting functoid
public static string ToJulian(string strdateTime)
DateTime dateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(strdateTime);
int day = dateTime.Day;
int month = dateTime.Month;
int year = dateTime.Year;
if (month < 3)
month = month + 12;
year = year - 1;
long dt = day + (153 * month - 457) / 5 + 365 * year + (year / 4) - (year / 100) + (year / 400) + 1721119;
return dt.ToSTring(dt);
or this returns long, and the input parameter is datetime
public static long ToJulian(DateTime dateTime)
int day = dateTime.Day;
int month = dateTime.Month;
int year = dateTime.Year;
if (month < 3)
month = month + 12;
year = year - 1;
return day + (153 * month - 457) / 5 + 365 * year + (year / 4) - (year / 100) + (year / 400) + 1721119;
Refer this article for more details:http://mikearnett.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/c-convert-julian-date/
Following in the what we have been using in our maps, this has two static methods. One for standard datetime to Julian and another to convert Short datetime to Julian:
public int ToJulian(string dt)
try
DateTime date = DateTime.Parse(dt);
return ((date.Year - 1900) * 1000) + date.DayOfYear;
catch
return 0;
/// <summary>
/// Convert to Julian from dd/mm/yy
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dt"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public int ToJulianFromShortDT(string dt)
try
DateTime date = new DateTime(int.Parse(dt.Substring(6, 2))+2000, int.Parse(dt.Substring(3, 2)), int.Parse(dt.Substring(0, 2)));;
return ((date.Year - 1900) * 1000) + date.DayOfYear;
catch
return 0;

please suggest me how to do this in biztalk map..

Hi,
In the Vin_Decoder schema create a "Decoder" Child Record and make it optional. Inside the Decoder" Record create the all the Field Elements like VIN, Year, etc. Create a map where the source and destination is the Vin_Decoder schema. Map to the field
elements inside the Decoder" Record.

Biztalk Map Logic

Hi,
I have the Biztalk Map logic as shown in figure
Discount Step and Loyalty both are repeatitive node structures
Sample Input Xml is as shown below
<DiscountStepList>
<DiscountStep>
<NumberOfTrips>35</NumberOfTrips>
<Percentage>1113</Percentage>
</DiscountStep>
<DiscountStep>
<NumberOfTrips>5</NumberOfTrips>
<Percentage>7732</Percentage>
</DiscountStep>
<DiscountStep>
<NumberOfTrips>30</NumberOfTrips>
<Percentage>8280</Percentage>
</DiscountStep>
   </DiscountStepList>
the logic to get the o/p will be
For Childe Element MIntrip:
in the first iteration Mintrip=1 and in Secoond iteration Mintrip=Last elememnt Maxtrips+1
For CHild Element Maxtrips:
In the first Iteration Maxtrips="NumberOfTrips" and in Second iteration current element MintripNum + NumberOfTrips.
The o/p for the above input example will be like
<ns0:Loyalites xmlns:ns0="http://BizTalk_Server_Project7.Schemdfa1">
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>1</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>35</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>36</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>41(36+5)</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>36</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>41(36+5)</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>42</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>72(42+30)</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
</ns0:Loyalites>
Is it possible in Biztalk Map using functoids?

Sujith,
You got to buy me a drink :)
You can achive this using XSLT in your map, following XSLT will get the desired result:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:var="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/var" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl var" version="1.0" xmlns:ns0="http://BizTalk_Server_Project7.Schemdfa1" >
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="xml" version="1.0" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/DiscountStepList" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/DiscountStepList">
<ns0:Loyalites>
<xsl:for-each select="DiscountStep">
<xsl:if test="position() =1">
<Loaylty>
<MinTrip>
<xsl:value-of select="position()" />
</MinTrip>
<MaxTrips>
<xsl:value-of select="NumberOfTrips/text()" />
</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<xsl:call-template name="ConstructNextLoayltyNode">
<xsl:with-param name="i" select="2"/>
<xsl:with-param name="limit" select="count(/DiscountStepList/DiscountStep)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="vMaxTrips" select="NumberOfTrips/text()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</ns0:Loyalites>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="ConstructNextLoayltyNode">
<xsl:param name="i"/>
<xsl:param name="limit"/>
<xsl:param name="vMaxTrips"/>
<xsl:if test="$i <= $limit">
<Loaylty>
<MinTrip>
<xsl:value-of select="$vMaxTrips + 1" />
</MinTrip>
<MaxTrips>
<xsl:value-of select="$vMaxTrips + 1 +/DiscountStepList/DiscountStep[$i]/NumberOfTrips/text() " />
</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<xsl:call-template name="ConstructNextLoayltyNode">
<xsl:with-param name="i" select="$i+1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="limit" select="$limit"/>
<xsl:with-param name="vMaxTrips" select="$vMaxTrips + 1 +/DiscountStepList/DiscountStep[$i]/NumberOfTrips/text()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note: You may have to change the namespace as yours. And also the output sample you have show has repeated node as following which is correct.
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>36</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>41(36+5)</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
    <MinTrip>36</MinTrip>
    <MaxTrips>41(36+5)</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
For your requirement you will get the out as following which your requirement:
<ns0:Loyalites xmlns:ns0="http://BizTalk_Server_Project7.Schemdfa1">
<Loaylty>
<MinTrip>1</MinTrip>
<MaxTrips>35</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
<MinTrip>36</MinTrip>
<MaxTrips>41</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
<Loaylty>
<MinTrip>42</MinTrip>
<MaxTrips>72</MaxTrips>
</Loaylty>
</ns0:Loyalites>

Invoice PO issue in BizTalk Map

Hi All,
I did get below error while I was testing the map. I have reloading the map so many times still I'm getting below error
Invoking component...
C:\somepath.btm: error btm1023: Exception Caught: The map contains a reference to a schema node that is not valid. Perhaps the schema has changed. Try reloading the map in the BizTalk Mapper. The XSD XPath of the node is: /*[local-name()='<Schema>']/*[local-name()='']/*[local-name()='']/*[local-name()='INVOICE']/*[local-name()='POSITEID']
Component invocation succeeded.
How can i fix this error could you please assist me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
1) Try "CLEAN SOLUTION" and then try,
2) If that doesnt fix. Choose the properties of the map and disable the “Ignore Namespaces for Links” like this:
Refer: Two nodes on same
level with same name but different namespace
3) If that doesn't fix the issue, Refer this link. FIX:
Error message when you validate a BizTalk map in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or in BizTalk Server 2009 if the map and its schemas are in a separate project

Create multiple line item from one line item in BizTalk mapping

Hi,
In one of our new requirement we need to create 3 line items for every line item we are receiving with same value but in the below format.
Sample Input:
<EmpId>1234</EmpId><Name>ABCD></Name><Dept>YYY</Dept><Year>2014</Year><Desc1>D1</Desc1><Desc2>D2</Desc2><Desc3>D3</Desc3><Valid>Yes</Valid>
Sample Output in Flatfile:
1234,ABCD,,,D1,Yes
1234,ABCD,YYY,,D2,Yes
1234,ABCD,YYY,2014,D3,Yes
Can you Pls help me in creating the mapping in above format.
Thanks in advance,

Elango,
Before I explain about the solution, make sure when you give inputs/requirement in forums for us to help you, pay attention.
The input instance you have shown
Doesn’t have a root element
Has a typo - <Name>ABCD></Name> -Element has invalid “>” character.
This makes us to spend more time in cleansing your input and then find out solution.
We are here to help you, so help us to help you better.
Anyway, coming to the solution
You have to create map with a structure similar to the below shown image:
Here destination schema is a flat file schema with comma-delimited fields.
If you look into the destination schema, it look similar to your input schema, but there is just one “Desc” field instead of “Desc1”, “Desc2”, “Desc3” in your source schema. In destination, the
record has to repeat with same values for rest of the fields. And for “Desc” in destination schema will have corresponding index value of “Desc1” or “Desc2” or “Desc3” from source. i.e. first node of destination will have value of “Desc1” from source to “Desc”
field in destination, second node of destination will have value of “Desc2” from source to “Desc” field in destination and third node of destination will have value of “Desc3” from source to “Desc” field in destination.
I use XSLT in the map, with recursive template which will repeat for 3 times. I have given comment in the XSLT for your benefit.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:var="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/var" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl var" version="1.0">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="xml" version="1.0" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/Root" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/Root">
<Record>

<xsl:call-template name="LintItemTemp">
<xsl:with-param name="i">1</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="count">3</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</Record>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="LintItemTemp">
<xsl:param name="i" />
<xsl:param name="count" />
<Details>
<EmpId>
<xsl:value-of select="EmpId/text()" />
</EmpId>
<Name>
<xsl:value-of select="Name/text()" />
</Name>
<Dept>
<xsl:value-of select="Dept/text()" />
</Dept>
<Year>
<xsl:value-of select="Year/text()" />
</Year>

<xsl:if test ="($i =1)">
<Desc>
<xsl:value-of select="Desc1/text()" />
</Desc>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test ="($i =2)">
<Desc>
<xsl:value-of select="Desc2/text()" />
</Desc>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:if test ="($i =3)">
<Desc>
<xsl:value-of select="Desc3/text()" />
</Desc>
</xsl:if>
<Valid>
<xsl:value-of select="Valid/text()" />
</Valid>
<xsl:value-of select="./text()" />
</Details>

<xsl:if test="$i < $count">
<xsl:call-template name="LintItemTemp">
<xsl:with-param name="i">
<xsl:value-of select="$i + 1"/>
</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="count">
<xsl:value-of select="$count"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
So the input and output will look like the below:
You can change the schema/XSLT and its corresponding namespaces as you want.
When the above shown output is send to a custom-pipeline with flat file assembler in send port will output the above shown output to the flat-file structure as you wanted. Again, I repeat you
to use flat-file file schema with comma-delimited fields as the destination schema in the above shown map for you to get the flat-file output as you needed.

Biztalk Map create duplicate target node

Using biztalk mapper, I need a target node to be duplicated.. I have created a simplified version of my issue. Please see below map
link for source and destination schema.
I need the target Option node to be duplicated for each OptionNotes. The value of OptionNotes is to be split by a pipe ("|"),
then map to target Code and Description.
The input is as below:
<ns0:Source xmlns:ns0="http://Test.SOAP.Source1">
<Option>
<OptionID>ID0_NoNotes</OptionID>
<OptionName>OptionName_0</OptionName>
</Option>
<Option>
<OptionID>ID1_NoNotes</OptionID>
<OptionName>OptionName_1</OptionName>
<OptionNotes>NOTE1|BLAH1</OptionNotes>
<OptionNotes>NOTE2|BLAH2</OptionNotes>
</Option>
</ns0:Source>
The output should be as below:
<Destination>
<Options>
<Option>
<Code>ID0_NoNotes</Code>
<Description>OptionName_0</Description>
</Option>
<Option>
<Code>ID1_NoNotes</Code>
<Description>OptionName_1</Description>
</Option>
<Option>
<Code>NOTE1</Code>
<Description>BLAH1</Description>
</Option>
<Option>
<Code>NOTE2</Code>
<Description>BLAH2</Description>
</Option>
</Options>
</Destination>
Tried to use Looping and combination with Value Mapping, but to no avail. Do I have to resort to inline xslt?
Thanks.

Thanks for all your answers.
@Pi_xel_xar Your suggestion requires a change in the message schema.
@Nadeem We have already tried the solution on the blog, but it's not quite the scenario we face. The issue is the OptionNote is in the same layer as OptionID and OptionName.
We have used another tool, which has done this easily. We then get the XSLT and import it as part of Inline XSLT scripting functoid.
The XSLT produced was as below:
<xsl:for-each select="ns0:Source/Option">
<Option>
<xsl:for-each select="OptionID">
<Code>
<xsl:value-of select="string(.)"/>
</Code>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="OptionName">
<Description>
<xsl:value-of select="string(.)"/>
</Description>
</xsl:for-each>
</Option>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="ns0:Source/Option/OptionNotes">
<xsl:variable name="var1_resultof_cast" select="string(.)"/>
<Option>
<Code>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($var1_resultof_cast, '|')"/>
</Code>

Orchestration Variable in Custom XSLT in Biztalk Map

Hi,
I have a custom xslt for mapping HL7 messages to CRM fields.
For one field, I 'll get the data from DB so it is stored in my orchestration variable. How can I use that variable in my custom xslt file? Thanks.
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi Laxme,
As far I know, there is no way you can access Orchestration variable in custom XSLT.
Workaround : you can create a intermediate message with a field and assign the variable value (the data from DB) to it and later use message assignment to assign this value to the field which you want to the mesage which you created using custom
xslt.

BizTalk Map selection

Hi,
I am trying to understand how Map selection happens under the hood in the
BizTalk engine.
Say i have 3 message types, X , Y and Z.
I have 2 maps:
X to Y
X to Z.
so the source message type is the same for the maps.
In the Receive port, i define both the maps.
How does BizTalk engine determine which map to apply?
Is there any way to influence map selection i.e under certain context properties or message data, choose the first map otherwise second.
Please let me know.
Regards,
MS

Hi MS,
#1 Yes we can
have maps with same source without any error as multiple maps are supported on port,
but only one of them will be executed and its unpredictable which one will be the chosen one.
#2 Yes, you can achieve this using dynamic
mapping resolver.
Now what is Dynamic Mapping Resolver?
It is a mechanism of dynamically(at run time) associate map name from existing repository like business
rule engine or custom configuration database table to transformer based on an identifier contained in each source instance message.
Dynamic map resolver can applied at:
1) Inbound maps
2) outbound maps
3) Orchestration.

External Assembly Call in BizTalk Map

Hello All,
I am trying to call an external assembly as below from a scripting Functoid:
public static string dblookup()
string eaidbconnection = null;
eaidbconnection = System.Convert.ToString(BizTalk.CE.Eai.Common.EaiSettings.GetSetting("ForecastFileExclusions"));
return eaidbconnection;
But when I do so and test the map am getting the below error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
When I deploy the application and then use the map as inbound map in the receive port I get the error as : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The external assembly is gaced in assembly too.
What is wrong with the code?

Hello All,
Even when I change the code of the method to just return a string it is not working :
public static string dblookup()
string eaidbconnection = null;
eaidbconnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=ServerName\SQL02;Database=EAI_Main;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
return eaidbconnection;
I am using a databaselookup functoid and want to keep the database name input as configurable. so want to fetch it from a table.. but that is not working so in the above code am simply returning the connection string from the method and that is also not
working. But, when use this connection string directly in the db functoid it works. There seems to be something wrong when I am calling the external assembly from sricting functoid. I think this is a server issue ? so is there anythign I can check to
confirm the same ?

How can I write unit tests for BizTalk Maps with multipe inputs?

I want to bring all my maps under unit test coverage, but can't seem to find a way to test maps with multiple inputs. Maps with multiple inputs are first merged into a single schema by biztalk and then the map actually uses that inline schema as source.
What I tried is- produced a generated instance of source schema by clicking "Test Map", and then modified the skeletal instance by stitching together the multiple input files into it. There are two problems I am facing going forward that way- 1#
It takes a lot of time to craft a mock input of inline schema and 2# the mock input fails input validation although the input works just fine in the orchestration.
So is there a better or standard way to test such Maps?

For testing maps with multiple inputs, follow the below steps-
Lets assume you have a map with two input schemas A and B and output as C.
1) To create the required schema just reverse the inputs i.e. make a map with C as input and A & B as output. Later do a test map. This will generate an XML File with schemas A & B.
2) Now you just to need to replace OutputMessagePart_0 to InputMessagePart_0
and OutputMessagePart_1 to InputMessagePart_1
Later you can use this xml for testing your original map.

BizTalk mapping for repeating Nodes using XSLT

Hi,
I am mapping the source schema to destination schema using Custom XSLT file. I have a repeating node in the Sources schema:
Period node can repeat any number of times. I am using the XPath in XSLT to map the nodes from source to destination and using the "for-each" loop.
Destination Schema:
I want to map "PeriodID" and "Volume" both to the destination node "html:TD". I am using the following XSLT code:
<xsl:for-each select="/*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']">
<html:TR class="data0" level="0">
<html:TD class="data-int" datatype="int">
<xsl:value-of select="./*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='PeriodID' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']"/>
</html:TD>
<html:TD class="data-dbl" datatype="dbl">
<xsl:value-of select="./*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Volume' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']"/>
</html:TD>
</html:TR>
</xsl:for-each>
I am only getting the first value of both the nodes in every loop.
I know that we can use the XPath of the actual Node(PeriodID) in "for-each" loop and use value-of="." to get the current values of the node.
But the problem is I want both the values "PeriodID" and "Volume" repeating in the destination.

if you use xpath like you did ( imean without index), you will only get 1 record elements each time.
Either you have to use code like i did, or use index based xpath.
The code i gave you should work, just try to debug it from visual studio. Because xslt is a case sensitive, check if the code i gave you matches the elements in case sensitive. may be you have to use prefixes like s1, s2 etc as per you xsl file declaration.
Check you xsl file for prefix declarations.
you can also try below code, it uses postion() method to get the current for loop index.
<xsl:for-each select="/*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']">
<html:TR class="data0" level="0">
<html:TD class="data-int" datatype="int">
<xsl:value-of select="(./*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='PeriodID' and namespace-uri()='Namespace'])[position()]"/>
</html:TD>
<html:TD class="data-dbl" datatype="dbl">
<xsl:value-of select="(./*[local-name()='RootNode' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Periods' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Period' and namespace-uri()='Namespace']/*[local-name()='Volume' and namespace-uri()='Namespace'])[position()]"/>
</html:TD>
</html:TR>
</xsl:for-each>
but i insist you to verify for any prefix declarations in you xsl file

How to map single to multiple record in Biztalk Map

Hi,
I have a flat file Input as below
For understandability I am making it as XML:
<Input>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<Country>India</Country>
<orderNumber>123<orderNumber>
</Input>
I am having a look up table to retrieve multiple LineItem per Name
Output expected
I need to repeat the record based on the table as
<Output>
<Detail>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<LineItems>38</LineItems>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<LineItems>45</LineItems>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<LineItems>88</LineItems>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<LineItems>99</LineItems>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Name>vignesh</Name>
<LineItems>85</LineItems>
</Detail>
</Output>
I have created an external assembly to pull the data from database and concatenating the lineitems in a string as (38,45,88,99,85). Now either I need to use map functoids/inline xslt's.
Please help to move further with some samples.
Regards, Vignesh S

Hi Vignesh,
Add a scripting functiod as shown here in the image, in the scripting functiod call "Inline XSLT Call Template". This scripting functiod would have two parameters.
1- Name link from the soruce schema. 2- Output something like "38,45,88,99,85" (without quotes). This could be link from the functiod which pulls the data from db. In my case, I just used a string fuctiod which would output
38,45,88,99,85 to the scripting functiod.
In the scripting fuctiod, use the below XSLT template. I have commented the XSLT to detail how it works:
<xsl:template name="ConstructDetailNodeTemplate">
<xsl:param name="name" />
<xsl:param name="value" />
<xsl:variable name="NameFromSoruce" select="$name"></xsl:variable>

<xsl:call-template name="StringSplit">
<xsl:with-param name="nam" select="$NameFromSoruce" />
<xsl:with-param name="val" select="$value" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="StringSplit">
<xsl:param name="nam" />
<xsl:param name="val" />

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($val, ',')">
<Detail>
<Name>
<xsl:value-of select="$nam"/>
</Name>

<LineItems><xsl:value-of select="substring-before($val, ',')" /></LineItems>
</Detail>

<xsl:call-template name="StringSplit">
<xsl:with-param name="nam" select="$nam" />
<xsl:with-param name="val" select="substring-after($val, ',')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>

<Detail>
<Name>
<xsl:value-of select="$nam" />
</Name>
<LineItems>
<xsl:value-of select="$val" />
</LineItems>
</Detail>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
The output would look like this as you wanted for the above your input:

Here is a piece of xslt, i need to replace the characters with their shortcode which are not supported in xml.
For eg i need to replace '&' to '&amp' and similarly all other characters as mentioned
Unsupported characters and their replacements:
& - &
< - <
> - >
" - "
' - '
XSLT:

[Need to do it in the value coming from termandcondition text ie s9:TermsConditionText]
Thanks in Advance

Then go back to the source and explain to them that this is not valid XML, and you cannot consume it. Have you tried opening this XML in a web browser? or have an XML Disassemble Pipeline Component consume it?
It should be
<ns5:TermsConditionText>Terms&conditions</ns5:TermsConditionText>
From the source, otherwise you will not be able to parse it as XML.

BizTalk mapping multiple nodes

Hello All,
Below is an example of a schema I have to work upon. There will be multiple nodes of Diviions under the root node and there will be similar number of divisions node under the mappings node. now each divisions node (under root node) will have multiple record
nodes which will each have an industry_type node. So, what I want to do is match both industry_type nodes (each under root and mappings node) and if the value is same I want to map the industry_type_value to the destination schema. So there can be n number
of industry_type nodes and I want to have equal number in the destination schema. When I am using a looping functoid along with value mapping I am getting the non matchin industry_type nodes too in the destination schema.
Please help me with the same.

Hey Ashwin,
I am unable to add the xml so am pasting the files:
Input:
<ns0:Root xmlns:ns0="http://Pricing.MTB.Schema.Schema1">
<Divisions>
    <Record>
      <Identifier>node1</Identifier>

    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Identifier>node2</Identifier>
      <Industry_Type>DEF</Industry_Type>
    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Identifier>node3</Identifier>
      <Industry_Type>GHI</Industry_Type>
    </Record>
</Divisions>
<Mappings>
    <Record>
      <Industry_type>ABC</Industry_type>
      <Industry_Type_value>ABC0</Industry_Type_value>
    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Industry_type>DEF</Industry_type>
      <Industry_Type_value>DEF0</Industry_Type_value>
    </Record>
    <Record>
      <Industry_type>GHI</Industry_type>
      <Industry_Type_value>GHI0</Industry_Type_value>
    </Record>
