Classpath for pipeline component

I am trying to write my own pipeline compenent.
It keeps throwing classnot found exception for the
PC class. I figured that it needs to be in enterprise apps classpath. So I
added it in \wlportal4.0\bin\win32\set-environment.bat file.
It then gives java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: (for
com/bea/p13n/appflow/pipeline/PipelineComponentSupport)
The PC class extends this class.
Shouldn't this class already be in classpath, it is bundled with the
product.
How come its not found. I added wlportal4.0\applications\portal\pipeline.jar
in \wlportal4.0\bin\win32\set-environment.bat file but then server wont
start.
This is problem. Does anyone know how to solve this.
Am I using the wrong file to change the app classpath.

Pipeline component for replace the values in send pipeline 837P

hi friends,
I am working in 837P splitting the claims.When i am sending using sendpipe line.
I need pass the 2010bb loop NM103 and NM109 defaluts values,
ex: NM103=100,NM109=0123456789
like can you help me write pipeline component to manipulate the XPath and replace the default values.
THanks

you will need to extract data from the message coming on your receive location.
You can create two diffferent function which can do your task.
The first one is to get the stream from the message and create a seekable one to be used later on.
private Stream GetMessageStream(Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage msg, Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext context)
   Stream stream = msg.BodyPart.GetOriginalDataStream();
    if (!stream.CanSeek)
        ReadOnlySeekableStream readStream = new ReadOnlySeekableStream(stream);
        if (context != null)
            context.ResourceTracker.AddResource(readStream);
        msg.BodyPart.Data = readStream;
        stream = readStream;
    return stream;
The second method is the one that would perform the data extraction as follows.
private string ExtractDataValueXPath(Stream MsgStream, string MsgXPath)
    XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings()
      ConformanceLevel = ConformanceLevel.Document,
        IgnoreWhitespace = true,
        ValidationType = ValidationType.None,
        IgnoreProcessingInstructions = true,
        IgnoreComments = true,
        CloseInput = false
    MsgStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(MsgStream, settings);
    string strValue = null;
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(MsgXPath))
        if (reader.Read())
            XPathDocument xPathDoc = new XPathDocument(reader);
            XPathNavigator xNavigator = xPathDoc.CreateNavigator();
            XPathNodeIterator xNodes = xNavigator.Select(MsgXPath);
            if (xNodes.Count != 0 && xNodes.MoveNext())
                strValue = xNodes.Current.Value;
            MsgStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
    return strValue;
You can update the node with the Xpath of the element.
Thanks

Accessing user attributes from a pipeline component

Hello,
I'm using WLCS & WLPS 3.1. I use webflow and I have implemented the page
transition myself to work with the portal. Everything is working fine.
I'm planning to implement a complex step of a business process as a pipeline
component. For various reasons, this PC will be implemented as an EJB. To
perform its job, this PC needs to get information about the user that is
currently logged in. More specifically, it needs to lookup custom attributes
from the user profile (i.e. user property set).
So my question is : is this possible directly from the PC, or do I have to
populate the pipeline session with required information in the input
processor?
Thank you for your advice
Nicolas

Hello Ture,
Thanks for both posts.

I have not tried this myself. I think that the disconnect between the
pipeline session and the portal session is probably the fact that theattributes
in the portal session have their keys "fixed up" by prepending the portal
request URI. This is made possible by the
com.beasys.commerce.foundation.flow.jsp.DefaultDestinationDeterminer,which the
PortalDestinationDeterminer extends. It puts a "TRAFFIC.URI" attributeinto the
each request that goes through the FlowManagerServlet for the portal. Inthe
Acme exampleportal, the "SERVICEMANAGER.USER" attribute is put into theportal
HttpSession as "exampleportal.SERVICEMANAGER.USER".
If you want to get to the cached profile from your portal from yourpipeline
component (PC) then you would have to know that the name is "fixed up" tobe
"exampleportal.CACHED_PROFILE". There are probably several different waysyou
could get the "TRAFFIC.URI" information to your PC.

How to call Party Validation in the Custom EDI Pipeline component

Hi ,
There are two business divisions in our organizations. We have one party. Now we have to enable the ISA13 duplicate functionality for one business divisions. But the sender will send the same ISA06 and ISA08. Inorder to enable it may followed
the below approach,
Receive the File -> Change the ISA08 value -> Publish -> Validate with the party (Check ISA13 enabled) .
For the above process, created a pipeline component to change the ISA08 value. Now how do we can enable the message to get validated for "Validate with the party (Check ISA13 enabled)".
Thanks,
Sathish

Thank you boatseller for the swift response.
Yes I have created a new agreement with Check ISA13 enabled.
Yes i have placed the custom component(replace ISA08) in the Decode stage, then i used the builtin EDIDisassembler in the Disassembler stage, It is working fine. But i don't want to disassemble the message. Just required to validate the Party with its agreement.
And let it get streamed to next stage.
Please advice.

Custom pipeline component creates the folder name to archive messages

Hi
I have an requirement that a BizTalk application is receiving untyped messages and at the receive location the pipeline have to archive the incoming message with the specifications:
suppose I have an xml like
<PurchaseOrder>
<OrderId>1001</OrderId>
<OrderSource>XYZ</OrderSource>
<Code>O01</Code>
</PartyType>
In the pipeline component it has to read this xml and have to use OrderSource value 'XYZ' to create a archival folder and the message have to archive with file name '%MessageId%'
It has to be done by writing custom pipeline component where I am not familiar with c# coding, Can anyone please how to implement mechanism.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Arun,
Use
BizTalk Server Pipeline Component Wizard to create a decode pipeline component for receive. Install this wizard. This shall help you to create the template project for your pipeline component stage.
Use the following code in the Execute method of the pipeline component code. This code archives the file based with name of the file name received.
public Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage Execute(Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext pc, Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage inmsg)
MemoryStream tmpStream = new MemoryStream();
try
string strReceivedFilename = null;
DateTime d = DateTime.Now;
try
//Get the file name
strReceivedFilename = inmsg.Context.Read("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties").ToString();
if (strReceivedFilename.Contains("\\"))
strReceivedFilename = strReceivedFilename.Substring(strReceivedFilename.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1, strReceivedFilename.Length - strReceivedFilename.LastIndexOf("\\") - 1);
catch
strReceivedFilename = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
originalStream = inmsg.BodyPart.GetOriginalDataStream();
int readCount;
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
// Copy the entire stream into a tmpStream, so that it can be seakable.
while ((readCount = originalStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024)) > 0)
tmpStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
tmpStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
//ToDo for you..
//Access the receive message content using standard XPathReader to access values of OrderSource and construct file pathAccess the receive message content using standard XPathReader to acceess values of OrderSource and contruct the file path
string strFilePath = //Hold the value of the file path with the value of OrderSource
string strCurrentTime = d.ToString("HH_mm_ss.ffffff");
strFilePath += "\\" + strReceivedFilename + "_";
FileStream fileStream = null;
try
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
fileStream = new FileStream(strFilePath + strCurrentTime + ".dat", FileMode.CreateNew);
catch (System.IO.IOException e)
// Handle the exception, it must be 'File already exists error'
// Wait for 10ms, change the file name and try creating the file again
// If the second 'file create' also fails, it must be a genuine error, it'll be thrown to BTS engine
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);
strCurrentTime = d.ToString("HH_mm_ss.ffffff"); // get current time again
string dtcurrentTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddHH_mm_ss.ffffff");
fileStream = new FileStream(strFilePath + strCurrentTime + ".dat", FileMode.CreateNew);
while ((readCount = tmpStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024)) > 0)
fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, readCount);
if (fileStream != null)
fileStream.Close();
fileStream.Dispose();
if (originalStream.CanSeek)
originalStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
else
ReadOnlySeekableStream seekableStream = new ReadOnlySeekableStream(originalStream);
seekableStream.Position = 0;
inmsg.BodyPart.Data = seekableStream;
tmpStream.Dispose();
catch (Exception ex)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Archive Pipeline Error", string.Format("MessageArchiver failed: {0}", ex.Message));
finally
if (tmpStream != null)
tmpStream.Flush();
tmpStream.Close();
if (originalStream.CanSeek)
originalStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return inmsg;
In the above code, you have do a section of code which will access the receive message content using standard XPathReader to access values of OrderSource and construct the file path. I have
commented the place where you have to do the same. You can read the XPathReader about here..http://blogs.msdn.com/b/momalek/archive/2011/12/21/streamed-xpath-extraction-using-hidden-biztalk-class-xpathreader.aspx

Issue with custom receive Pipeline component

I have been facing issue with creating a custom receive pipeline component. The Pipeline is to receive large file, if the file size is large it has to read the incoming stream to a folder and pass only some meta data through the MessageBox. The Execute method
I am using is,
#region IComponent Members
public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext pContext, IBaseMessage pInMsg)
if (_largeFileLocation == null || _largeFileLocation.Length == 0)
_largeFileLocation = Path.GetTempPath();
if (_thresholdSize == null || _thresholdSize == 0)
_thresholdSize = 4096;
if (pInMsg.BodyPart.GetOriginalDataStream().Length > _thresholdSize)
Stream originalStream = pInMsg.BodyPart.GetOriginalDataStream();
string largeFilePath = _largeFileLocation + "\\" + pInMsg.MessageID.ToString() + ".zip";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(largeFilePath, FileMode.Create);
// Write message to disk
byte[] buffer = new byte[1];
int bytesRead = originalStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
while (bytesRead != 0)
fs.Flush();
fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
bytesRead = originalStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
// Create a small xml file
string xmlInfo = "<ns0:MsgInfo xmlns:ns0='http://SampleTestPL.SchemaLocation'><LargeFilePath>" + largeFilePath + "</LargeFilePath></ns0:MsgInfo>";
byte[] byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlInfo);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
pInMsg.BodyPart.Data = ms;
return pInMsg;
#endregion
Here I want the xml to be dropped in to the File share Eg: E:\Dropbox\PL\send and and the entire message to be dropped in the folder Eg: E:\Dropbox\sendLarge. so in the ReceivePipeline properties i set like
And in the send port the destination i give is E:\Dropbox\PL\send.
The issue is both the xml and the message are getting dropped in to the same folder E:\Dropbox\PL\send and the message is not getting dropped in E:\Dropbox\SendLarge. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Question about login in Pipeline Component

Dear All,
I'm working on registering a new user. Soon after user submits registration, an InputProcessor
will validate its registration data. If success, a Pipeline Component will create
a user via UserManager.createUser() method and then will set properties via ProfileWrapper.setProperty()
method. But before I can setProperty I need to login user. I'm think of using ServletAuthentication.weak()
method to do so, but I don't know how to get a HttpServletRequest object or HttpSession
object. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Also, will it be any trouble to logout if
I use this way to login user?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tim

Tim,
You can get the HttpServletResponse from the PipelineSession from inside you
PipelineComponent (with signature):
PipelineSession process(PipelineSession pipelineSession,
java.lang.Object requestContext)
By calling:
reponse (HttpServletResponse) = pipelineSession.getRequestScopedAttribute(
WebFlowConstants.HTTP_SERVLET_RESPONSE,
pipelineSession.getContext().getCurrentNamespace(), context );
From the reponse you can get the HttpSession by simply calling getSession.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

BTDF Deployment - Custom Pipeline Component

If I am deploying manually, I am able to deploy, GAC and get output accordingly.
1) But when using BTDF, its not getting deployed properly and not receiving any output. What am I doing wrong ?
2) Before deploying 'RemoveFooter' assembly and adding to PipelineBizTalk Project, how can I add that in tools of Pipeline components to add this 'RemoveFooter' component in Decode stage ?
In BTDF mentioned this :
<PropertyGroup>
<IncludePipelineComponents>true</IncludePipelineComponents>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PipelineComponents Include="$(ProjectName).PipelineComponents.dll">
<LocationPath>..\PipelineComponents\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>
</PipelineComponents>
</ItemGroup>
MBH

Hi
MBH,
The configuration that you mentioned above is totally correct. When you add the custom pipeline component in BTDF it deploys
to “Pipeline Components” folder and at run time BTS refers the dll from this place.
Its working for me with the same configuration and I believe it might be other problem related to the actual project.

Custom Pipeline Component error

I have created a custom pipeline component which references a template file on the local drive e.g. c:\test\template.xlsx. however when I run the application the Send pipeline fails Reason: 'c:\test\template.xlsx' could not be found.
It does exist, everything is spelt correctly and the host account has access to the folder. Why can't the component see it?

I tried a code as highlighted by Rachit, but I don’t see issue as the referred blog suggest.
Coming to questioners code, I created a quick pipeline component which uses a dll for
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
accessing the excel files and does something with Excel file.
Few things I want to highlight here.
If the questioner (RedEyeMonster) is using the same dll (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel)
in the pipeline component as I used, then I am afraid Workbooks.Open’s component doesn’t just take one parameter as shown.
Open method doesn’t have any overloaded methods. It takes few parameter and its worth checking each one on them.Some of the parameter are very important and could cause issues (like
ReadOnly , IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Editable etc). As said, the
Workbooks .Open method doesn’t just have template file location parameter. It’s worth reviewing the code again.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excelApplication = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
//When I tried without the following couple of lines, my program waited for long time and crashed
excelApplication.DisplayAlerts = false;
excelApplication.Visible = true;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook excelWorkboook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Open(@"C:\MRAshwinPrabhu\TestExcel.xsl", 2, false,
5, "", "", true, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "",
false, false, 0, false, true, 0);
While trying the code, I create a excel file as extension *.xls (older version of Excel 97-2003 workbook) and in the code I tried to open the file as “C:\foldername\FileName.xlsx”.
*.xls and *.xlsx are different, though in the folder the excel icon may look similar they are different file extensions. I for the same error as the questioner.
Also issue I faced while trying this is “DisplayAlerts”
property. When I tried without setting this property to false, my program just waited for long time and crached evently. So when you use in a program like pipeline where you don’t have UI, ensure this property is set to false.
Hope the above suggest would help the questioner.

Is it possible to process a 0kb file within a custom pipeline component?

Hi There,
You probably wondering.. what the hell do you need this for?
Well.. we have a third party application that process a file as following
1) Import the original file
2) Export the original file
3) Append the original file (with the data I need)
4) Create a 0 kb file with the original exported filename but added .sem to show me that the export is done.
So my guessing was to with a custom pipeline component (receive) to pickup the .sem file, and use the original exported file to process the data from within the custom pipeline component.
Well, this works perfectly.
But... this only works if I add any data to the .sem file.
Otherwise BizTalk picks up the .sem file, but does not process it, it actually does not enter the pipeline at all, and it also does not appear in the tracking.
Is there a possiblity to accept 0kb files within a custom pipeline component?
Please help, Thanks
DP

Stopping message at Pipeline component

Hi all,
I have a message and I am checking if the file size is more than 4 MB, the files should be routed back in a email.
If it is less than 4 MB, it should be processed further with orchestration.
Now i have written the code and working fine, I am just not sure if I can return a null pINMsg incase size is more than 4 MB. As of now I thought of constructing a null data message with only namespace and reject it in the orchestration.
Is there any other way to ignore the 4 MB message in the pipeline ??
Thanks,
Varun
Thanks, Varun

Hi Varun,
If you look closer to your requirement, it’s not “stopping” the message if it’s more than 4MB. It’s actually
If the message size is greater than 4 MB,
then send email with received file as attachment
Else
send/process the message in an Orchestration.
For this requirement, you can do the following:
Create a custom pipeline component use it in Receive Location. In the component check the size of the received message as you do now. If it’s lesser than 4 MB proceed with
it by publishing the message to message Box where your Orchestration will subscribe the published message.
Again in the same custom receive pipeline component, If the message size is greater than 4 MB, then store the received message to a local drive’s (or shared drive) folder.
Don’t publish the >4MB message, but construct a trigger-like message which contains the path where the received file is saved. Publish this trigger-like message into message Box in the case of <4 MB.
Have a send port with filter for message type of the trigger-like message. In the send port, use another custom send pipeline with a pipeline component which will receive
the trigger message (which would have been published into msgbox in case of >4MB). Retrieve the URL/path for the saved <4MB file construct an email message and with the >4 MB file from local/shared drive as attachment.
With this design, your requirement is satisfied also you have not published the >4MB file into BizTalk message box.

M.R.Ashwin Prabhu

Custom Pipeline Component - Deployment Issue

We have created a custom pipeline component that logs information via ETW. The component was added to a suite of common pipelines that our applications share, as well as to a handful of application specific pipelines that require other custom components
used only by those applications. I made a change to the component and deployed the DLL to our test environment, added it to the GAC and restarted all of the host instances. The common pipelines all seem to work fine with the new DLL, but for some reason those
pipelines that are application specific (which use the same version of the DLL) all started generating the "Object reference not set to an instance of the object" error. So I replaced the new DLL with the original version and all of the pipelines
(common and otherwise) worked okay again. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the application specific pipelines to work with the modified DLL?
Thank you.
Thanks, Bruce

Quite certain. The application specific pipelines call public methods that write string data to a log file - they don't pass any parameters - all of that is contained within the component itself. We only changed the content of the data for the internal parameters,
not the data type, so the signature of the procedures remain the same.
The original author of the code had the component logging every attribute of the pipeline and received message to the log file which was creating very large and non-useful logs. We only replaced the call to the pc.GetProperties() and inmsg.GetProperties()
methods (both return string values) with concise strings containing the data we need logged.
The first version of the pipeline did not contain the GetProperties methods, those were added later and the pipeline was deployed for testing. At that time, all of the application specific pipelines began generating errors that the GetProperties() method
was not recognized, so we ended up having to go back and rebuild and re-deploy all of the application specific pipelines to use the newer version in order to get them to work. We should not have to go through this much effort to replace a shared
library, and am hoping we can find a way to deploy it without having to redeploy all of the other pipelines as well.
We deployed the new pipeline according to Microsoft's recommendations in
BizTalk: Deploying Custom Pipeline Components in BizTalk Server 2006 and Higher so we are left scratching our heads at this point.
Thanks, Bruce

Pipeline component returns null.

Hey everyone,
I have a pipeline component which returns null for negative scenarios. But this will throw an error since i have a flat file disassembler in the disassembler stage.
I need to terminate the instance and exit before it goes to the pipeline disassembler stage. How do i go about it?
Regards,
Priya.

When building "termination" Pipeline Components, you have to take into account whether they will be used in a Receive Port or a Send Port.
Receive Port (your case):
pInMsg.BodyPart.Data = null;
return pInMsg;
Send Port:
pInMsg = null;
return pInMsg;

'schema is missing for the component ' while creating a web service
