How to do Baching in Biztalk

I have a receive location where I receive 80 flat files per day. I have to batch all the input files in to 1 output file. Please let me know the best way to do it.
Kathirvel

Hi
You have to implement batching/aggregator patter for your requirement. You have two options:
standard aggregator
where batching of messages would happen in memory. If the message size is not very high and for 80 flat files (80 is not a very high number) you can do batching in memory, this could give better performance.
Other option is to
use streaming where you would receive/collect the message and using streaming, batching can be done in temporary file location. This is helpful when your message sizes are high and by streaming the message to disk, high volume of message batching would
not happen in memory hence better in terms of resource utilisation.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

How to alert user using BizTalk if a file is not dropped in a folder during a specified time using file adapter (or any other)

Hi,
I have a requirement wher the client wants BizTalk to alert users somehow when a file is not received at specific time. I am using a FILE receive adapter, the requirement is, if the FILE adapter does not receive a file on time then BizTalk should alert the
users somehow. The client wants to use ESB toolkit to do this job.
does anybody have any idea ?

How to avoid zombie in biztalk?

Hi Biztalk expert!
I need find out the solution for biztalk zombie (very urgent), I have read many article about zombies, but I can't resolve problem.
I'm finding the approach to change the orchestration ( not use external tool/script as zombie management tool or WMI script).
below image is my orchestration.
any idea is good appreciated! If you can change this orchestration to resolve zombie, please give me screen shot.
sorry if my question duplicate in this forum.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe the queues would help?
It works if you process messages individually and don't have to compound some date from one message to another (like creating batch or calculate some aggregates like message counter or some amount from the message sequence). Seems your processing could be implemented
without orchestration at all, only with pipelines and maps on ports
For example if you need only an ordered delivery.
The possible design is:
Your messages go to the MSMQ queue (or ServiceBus Queue)
Send port(s) consumes messages from queue, this port is with ordered delivery on. There is no convoy orchestration and no orchestrations at all.
In this design you avoid convoy completely hence avoid the zombie problem and all problems around the singleton orchestration (the orchestration status, the complexity of the error handling).

Can any buddy tel me how can I register bulk of data from excel file ,to AS01 transaction code ?
Client is test client where i want to register dada while going by recording method of BDC got error
"Changes to Repository or cross-client Customizing are

Can any budy tel me alternative option how can i register it ?
is LSMW OK in this case?

Hi,
If this is one time load, then LSMW is suggestible.
LSMW in turn can use BAPI/IDOC/BDC methods. Since you told the using BDC you dont have authorization.
Check LSMW with BAPI method and use the BAPI for AS01: BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE1
Hope this helps

How to send 999 from BizTalk Server 2009?

I am trying to send 999 from BizTalk server 2009. I downloaded 999 (Errata schema) from CU4 of BizTalk 2009.
I know we need to map 997 to 999 as there are no built in configuration avaialable. If you have any BizTalk mapper to do 997 - 999 transformation. Please share with me.
Also is there any other way to accomplish this, please let me know your thoughts.
Bit urgent !!!!!
Thanks,
Rajesh N

you can send 999 acknowledgement even without mapping.
refer- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2669948/en-us
To generate 999 acknowledgements, you must create a custom receive pipeline and set the Use 999 Acknowledgment Instead
of 997 option to True.
you also need to configure EDI acknowledgement property
When the 997 acknowledgement is enabled, BizTalk EDI assumes that 997 Acknowledgement must be generated for the incoming message from
the party. With the Override997With999 property set to True, a 999 is returned instead of
a 997. If you don’t want a 997 or 999, uncheck the 997 Expected property in the agreement. A 997 and 999
acknowledgement cannot be generated simultaneously. If this is the goal, a custom pipeline component is needed.

How can I Purge in SQL Express database?

For development purposes, we created a Hyper-V VM running Windows 7 with BizTalk Server 2010 installed running against a SQL Express database. We also installed Visual Studio (licensed) for map development.
Over time, the BizTalk tables grow, and are taking up way too much storage space.
I looked at the "Microsoft recommended" method of purging the BizTalk database/tables, but it requires enabling a DTA job in SQL Agent which is not available in SQL Express (as far as I know.)
How can I purge the BizTalk tables in SQL Express to reclaim storage space?
Since this is a development platform, I do NOT care about ANY historical data being retained, only "system" data (such as parties, etc.)
Thanks!!
Jim Barr

You can use the various cleanup scripts to purge the database. Details:

Of course, you should not be using SQL Express.

Handling attachments in XML in Biztalk

Hi,
I am having a scenario where a third party sends us a xml; that XML has an attachment,a zip file.I can see a node called attachment in the XML. the contents of the attached file(once decoded) conforms to a particular schema..
I need to receive this XML, decode the zipped file.
How to handle this in Biztalk?
regards,
MS

mmm..Using custom pipeline component is obvious when you want to debatch the message from a zip because BizTalk doesn't have any unzipping/Zip component out-of-box. But what you’re looking
for is how do you handle it when the actual zip is part of the received XML (in one of the nodes) as opposed to the received file itself is a zipped one.
As said, you need some custom code (custom pipeline component) and use any Zip API to handle the compressed file(s).
When one of the nodes (attachment-node)
is going to contain the zipped content ( which has to be decoded to Base64 String)in your custom pipeline component, use
XPathReader and XpathCollection to access the value of a specific node
(attachment-node)
from the received XML by passing the XPath for the attachment node. Using this, once you have the decoded the values, send this value to the any of the ZIP API which can decode
and unzip it. If you follow the article before this talks about using an ZIP API to unzip and debtach the contents.

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.

Event between Biztalk server and Sharepoint

I have a Biztalk program with some validation. If some element/value is not valid on the checking, the biztalk program will throw expectation and suspend the process. I would like to implement a sharepoint application to modify the value to be correct on
the UI and resume the biztalk process.
How can sharepoint connect to biztalk server and then modify the wrong value to let the biztalk server resume the process?

Recently a dicuss happened for the similar requirement in MSDN forum:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a198a378-6255-48d7-bb1b-afbbf2709dd4/manage-orchestration-by-web-service?forum=biztalkgeneral.
One options as discussed by the below blogpost (in reference) is using SharePoint and InfoPath. You can have a custom exception handler where BizTalk can
write out the failed message to a forms library, then users could click a link there and edit the failed message in InfoPath. When ready, the user clicks “re-submit”
which InfoPath could send to a web service which can resent the message to BizTalk.
http://www.brianloesgen.com/blog/2007/6/24/when-biztalk-meets-sharepoint-it-makes-sense.html
Other options is explore the how the Repairing and Resubmitting has been implemented in ESB portal. Its uses the combination of ESB web services and InfoPath, you can
either resuse this functionality in ESVB portal or you can create your similar to ESB portal.

Biztalk Performance Monitor

HI,
My question is around Biztalk Performance monitor.
At times I support Biztalk Applications in Production and I use various tools to monitor Biztalk throttling. The tools varies from Windows perfmon (monitor Host instances), custom tools of MsgBox (check spool size, others) , Biztalk360 and so on. What I
noticed is all these tools help me to identify throttling on the host instance level, not on the Biztalk artifact level.
Now, my problem statement is how can I know which Biztalk application (orchestration / receive location / send location / any ) causing throttling and I would like to achieve this with minimum efforts. If possible I would like to automate this to notify
users when throttling occurs.
Kindly correct me if i'm mistaken.
Venkat Kundavaram
Venkat Kundavaram

Hi Venkat,
This is where host design comes into play. It about how you organize your BizTalk artifacts with regard to hosts. If you were designed the host instance grouping is right
way, you can identify the area where the throttling or any issue in the performance occur.
Throttling is to do with the process as whole not just an artifact. If you identify any performance issue in a specific host, then identifying the artifacts running under
the specific host and its pattern can led us to the root cause. With the proper design/grouping you can identify the pattern which can help to locate the root cause for performance issues.
Also you can’t pinpoint particular artifacts for a performance issue. For example, your Orchestration may be bound to a SQL send port.
If the host that is running the SQL send adapter is under throttling, messages cannot be published and your Orchestration may be held up as result.
So in this case what you can identify from the performance monitors is that there is an issue in message delivery is throttling and this could have impacted the message publishing rate as well. This is why any performance monitoring tools can’t point
a particular artefact for performance issues. Their process and its pattern have to be identified to find the root cause; this is where our support knowledge experience along with these tools comes into play.

BizTalk 2010 File to File App - make two copies

Hi there,
I'm learning how to develop applications in BizTalk.
I crated a simple "file to file" app,expected behavior is that when I drop any file in the rec folder it will get processed, it's name will be appended of the current date-time and it will be put in the snd folder.
All works fine except that sometimes there are two files being created not one.
Example I drop a file named a.txt to rec and two files appear in the snd folder:
2014-04-25T094304a.txt
and
2014-04-25T094303a.txt
Also, this not always happens. Most of the time I'm just getting a single file.
When I added the %MessageID% to the port configuration, it turns out BizTalk creates two different messages
Example:
Also, I can see no errors in BizTalk :(

Try using messaging only approach as this type of scenario can be achieved using the messaging only approach.
Just put a filter on the sendport and provide the details of the receive location in the filter.
I agree with la cour, this scenario doesnt demand an orchestartion. I have answered a question on messaging only approach and it also gives you details on how to catch exceptions if using the fault messages routing. If you want you can
refer to this post.
Thank You.

MessageBox log file size

Hi,
In our prod environment, the MessageBox data file is withing the recommended limits - 2GB, but the log file is 32GB. Is this a reason to worry, or it is normal? I couldn't find any recommendations on this.
Thank you very much!

This is not normal.
IMO your BizTalk database Jobs are not running , Make sure your BizTalk SQL servers jobs have been enabled and SQL server agent is running.
Please have a look of
How to Configure the Backup BizTalk Server Job article to enable the jobs.
The BizTalk backup job is responsible for keeping the log file size in the limit.
you can try shrinking the log file using following SQL command
USE BiztalkMsgBoxDb;
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE BiztalkMsgBoxDb
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (BiztalkMsgBoxDb_Log, 2);
GO
I would recommend you to have a read of following articles

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer
