Message Aggregation in Orchestration

Hi,
I have a requirement like every 4 hours I have trigger a orchestration and then orchestration should start and pick all the files from another folder and process and aggregate & produce one file. So i have put the workflow like below. It is working fine..
first i put the scheduler file , then the orchestration starts and process each file in another folder and able to do it.. I am using Correlation set as "ReceivePortName".
Configuration
First recive shape (active with initialize correlation)
second receive shape (following correlation)
but I am facing one issue here like, if the data files comes before the scheduler file, that time also the orchestration triggers. and getting failed.. not sure why the second receive shape fires without initialze the orchestration.
Can you please help me the way to resolve this.. I tried a lot .. but getting the root cause of this
Thanks,
Vinoth

Hi ,
So it means are we can't trigger the orchestration based on schedule and pick all the files from another folder and aggregate?. if so, can we use like below .. since i need the scheduler file as it has some information to process the data..
Instead of using like below,
"In this case, if you are receiving files, you can use a Windows Scheduler task to copy the files form a staging folder to a Receive Location folder every 4 hours"
After scheduler trigger the orchestration, call one method to move the files
files form a staging folder to a Main Receive Location folder and the pick the files and aggregate ??. since we are using external assemblies for doing some logic. please correct me if i am wrong.
@Rachi: I am using same receive port using two receive location. i tried with two different receive port, but getting error like "You must specify at least one already-initialized correlation set for a non-activation receive that is
on a non-selfcorrelating port"
Thanks,
Vinoth

Enable Biztalk Failed Message Routing in Orchestration

In Biztalk Receive Port or Send Port, we can enable failed message routing such that error message will be routed to the message box for further processing and I can subscribe to those error reports and consume them.
Can I do the same in an orchestration? So for example, I have a correlation set, where my orchestration is going to wait for 2 messages before aggregating them and publishing a message to a send port.
So my receive shapes are in a scope shape and the scope shape has a timeout. So if the timeout elapses before the orchestration is completed then an exception will occur and the message will suspend.
What I'd like to do is have it not suspend, generate an error report which I can subscribe to and perform other logic, such as inform someone. I'd also like to include details about the message, or possibly the entire message that was received, which
appears difficult because the scope's exception block is not in scope of the message that was received.
I'd think that will correlation scenarios this would be a common problem. Any suggestions?

Breaking message processing for perticular message in Biztalk Orchestration.

Hello All,
In above Orchestration I need to break the process for particular incoming message
if the decide condition get TRUE, I also don't want to execute further shapes if condition is TRUE.
I have tried using Terminate shape but it has stopped whole process...!
Please share if anybody have an IDEA.
And also share some links regarding how to break and continue (C#) in BizTalk, if any.
Thanks all

You've noticed that there is no simple "End Shape" so there's two ways to handle this.
Make sure the control flow is such that when the 'break' condition is hit, there are no other Shapes until the end of the Orchestration.
Set a Flag that you can use on further Decide Shapes to skip that logic.

Message Aggregator Question

I have an instance where I need 2 sender file adapters to send XI 2 different files (layouts are different). XI then needs to combine and map the messages from these two files into a single IDoc for each combined message. I know in a multi-mapping I can do it either with a BPM or without. When "aggregating" messages I know I can do it with a BPM. My question is does anyone know of a blog that exists where someone has accomplished this without the need of a BPM (and if there are any good blogs which cover how to aggregate with a BPM that would be helpful as well).
Thanks!

Shaun,
As you can see here, [Multi-Mappings|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/21/6faf35c2d74295a3cb97f6f3ccf43c/content.htm], you can not do the Message-Merge (n:1) mapping w/o BPM.
Using the BPM, you can refer to the pattern
BpmPatternCollectMultiIf - [Collecting and Bundling Messages - Multiple Interfaces|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/0e/56373f7853494fe10000000a114084/content.htm]
I suggest that you schedule your sender adapters at around same time..so that the BPM doesn't have to wait too long to process them. If you can not ensure that, then you can use [Event-Driven Message Processing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/7a/00143f011f4b2ee10000000a114084/content.htm] to wait for both the files to be picked up before they are sent to BPM.

B2B Message Aggregation

Hi,
I need information for B2B..In inbound location, we are getting n number of file & we need to aggregate that files into one file depends on some unique id in xml files. So how can we achieve it by using b2b.
Thanks in Advance,
Shrikant.

Shrikant,
B2B does not support inbound batching. You need to do this at middleware or at back-end.

Constructing / Updating a message in Loop of BizTalk Orchestration

Hi,
I have case where i need to to iterate a message received by Orchestration and validate each individual record of that message. Based on result of validation I need to mark a <STATUS> in the same message as Valid or Invalid. Later I need to use this
message for filtering Valid records for futher actions.
Please help on ideas how to achieve it.
Example / Sample
Received Message By Orchestartion
<Items>
<Item>
<ID>11</ID>
<STATUS></STATUS>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>12</ID>
<STATUS></STATUS>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>13</ID>
<STATUS></STATUS>
</Item>
</Items>
The Item node will be looped and checked for status against ID. This will be done using a method which will receive ID and return STATUS. I need to update back the STATUS in orginal message and then consume following message in the same orchestration.
Expected Message after LOOP
<Items>
<Item>
<ID>11</ID>
<STATUS>VALID</STATUS>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>12</ID>
<STATUS>VALID</STATUS>
</Item>
<Item>
<ID>13</ID>
<STATUS>INVALID</STATUS>
</Item>
</Items>
Any help will be highly appriciated
umair_bs

You have two options,
Do it in orchestration, loop through the item(s) node and update the Status field based on your validation logic using XPath
Or more simple option, pass the message to a .NET helper as below where you can apply your validation logic and update the XML file and .NET helper can return a XMLDocument which you can use in
Message-Assignment shape under Construct shape to construct a update message.
public static XmlDocument ContractUpdateStatusMsg(XmlDocument inXML)
XmlNodeList items = inXML.SelectNodes("/*[local-name()='Items' and namespace-uri()='']/*[local-name()='Item' and namespace-uri()='']");
foreach (XmlNode item in items)
//If condition can be contructed based on your validation logic
//where you send the value of ID to another methods which retrun or false
if (item.SelectSingleNode("ID").InnerText == "11")
item.SelectSingleNode("STATUS").InnerText = "VALID";
else
item.SelectSingleNode("STATUS").InnerText = "INVALID";
return inXML;

Reading the Context property of message in Orchestration

Here is the requirement:
1.BizTalk Recieve the XML document from shared folder via FILE Adapter (No Schema)
I will create Message type system.xml.xmldocument in orchestration
2.After receiving the doc,renaming the filename in orchesration
3.in orchestration , we need to read the context property(i.e.ReceiveLocationName) of received XML file
4. Based on recvlocation,there is a businesslogic.once logic implemented sending the file to target system
Note:we are not extracting any data from XML.
SO my question is How to read context property(i.e.ReceiveLocationName) from Orchestration expression shape

Hi, once you received the Message in the Orchestration, you can get the File name to an variable and apply your logic in an expression shape
In an expression shape you use something like this:
myVariable = myMessage(File.ReceivedFileName);

BPM: incoming messages disappear during send step

Hi,
I want to implement a message aggregation with the bpm tool.
For this reason incoming asynchronous messages should be collected and at the expiration of a time limit bundled and send synchronous. This synchronous phase takes ~40 sec.
Incoming (asynchronous) messages during the (synchronous) send step disappear.
SXMB_MONI: The status of the incoming message is "message scheduled on outbound side". The click on "Technical Outbound Channel" gives a popup "There are no workflows that have already worked with this object".
Once the synchronous send step is finished the status becomes "Message successful on outbound side" and the click is going to the workflow log (only one log for all messages). There is no entry for that message.
This happens both if a receiving step is active and if not.

Udo Martens

Hi, Abhishek:
The reason to use Fork is that all the branches can be reached.
By using switch, it only judge one input value and only one condition turns true.
Actually in most cases, the number of my input value is more than one, saying two or more message types generated.
And this is not multi-line situaion, because the messages generated are different types.
Your reply remind me to add switch inside fork.

Format of "JMS Message Destination Parameter" for JMS Sender Adapter

Hi,
I am trying to use the JMS Sender Communication Channel for several Interfaces by using the "JMS Message Destination Parameter". Currently, the Comm.Channel is reading the message and puts it back on the queue with the following error:

One option in BPEL is to have a mid process receive, but this would require you to handle the Correlation of the message with BPEL process instance.
Please refer the following section in SOA Guide for the same.
Using Correlation Sets and Message Aggregation - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7)
Please note the example is with File adapter but the same can be achieved for Any Adapter.

Exception Handling in Maps without Suspending the Orchestration Instance.

Hi,
Is there any way to handle Exceptions inside Maps so that the Orchestration Instance doesnot get suspended.
The map can be an Inbound or Outbound map. Orchestration needs to continue processing/sending other messages in sequence even if one message transformation failed.
Any information/pointers in this regard are highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
You can subscribe to the failed messages. When a failed message is generated, BizTalk Server promotes error-report-related
message context properties and demotes regular message context properties before publishing the failed message. Compare this to the default behavior when failed message routing is not enabled: Messages that fail are suspended.
You can subscribe to the failed messages via an orchestration.

Xpath to pull data from EDI Batch Message

Receive complete SOAP Envelope as message

Dear all
I have a web service that I have to consume which has a signature value in the SOAP header. In order that I can validate the signature with the message I would like to receive the complete SOAP envelope as (XML) message (<envelope>...<soap-env:header>...</soap-env:header>...<soap-env:body></soap-env:body></envelope>).
I couldn't find a solution for this.
Currently I use the WCF-Custom adapter to receive the multi part message (xml schemas created with svcutil) and receive the body as XML file. I also know how to access the SOAP header in the message but I would like to know if its possible to receive the
complete envelope as message.
Best regards
Jerome

Orchestration subscription includes value for BTS.MessageType context property, this mean you can't start orchestration with the soap envelope message type because the XmlDisassembler Component will discard the soap:Envelope content and the messaging engine
will only get the soap:Body content – so at the end of the process, BTS.MessageType context property will be set to the actual message type of content under soap:Body section and the orchestration will never start with the type soap:Envelope.
In case you need to process the entire soap:Envelope inside orchestration:
Use PassThruReceive pipeline.
Define message of type BTS.soap_envelope_1__1 message inside the orchestration (Message Type > schemas > from referenced assembly > Microsoft.BizTalk.GlobalPropertySchemas).
Use Xml Document as the incoming message.
Assign the incoming Xml Document message to the BTS.soap_envelope_1__1 message.

Pipeline in orchestration

I want to call a send pipeline as part of orchestration
I have found the following code to call the send pipeline as part of the orchestration.
Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.XLANGPipelineManager.ExecuteSendPipeline
(typeof(Sample.EnvelopePipeline)
,ProductPipeMsg
,EnvelopedProductOut);
how do I fit in the above code for the following details?
Message name: outputmessage
Pipeline name: custompipeline
I am wondering what should be in the place of ProductPipeMsg. should i create a dummy variable?
could anyone reply with the example
How to pass a message through a send pipeline in orchestration?

Hi ragavalli,
The syntax for calling the send pipeline from orchestration in your case is:
Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.XLANGPipelineManager.ExecuteSendPipeline(typeof(NamespaceOfYourSendPipeline.custompipeline),ProductPipeMsg,outputmessage);
NamespaceOfYourSendPipeline.custompipeline:
The fully qualified type of the send pipeline you need to call.
ProductPipeMsg:
This is a variable of type "Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.SendPipelineInputMessages". You have to create this Orchestration variable. This is the input passed to the send pipeline. You populate this
variable by ProductPipeMsg.Add(YourMessageWhichYouWantTosendToPipeline).Note:
I have used ProductPipeMsg
as name as your referred. Its a just a variable name can be of your choice.
outputmessage:
This is a XLANG Message object you will receive as output from the send. You will create a XLANG message in your orchestration of this name. This is the output from the send pipeline for the given
input (input in this case is ProductPipeMsg)
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

Creating an Aggregation Layer

I am trying to create an aggregation layer which is to built off a multi provider which has a real time info cube. When I try and create the aggregation layer I get the message:
Aggregation Level <level name>: Infoprovider <Info provider name> cannot be used for definition
Why am I getting this message and how can I resolve it? Thanks

At least one key figure and one characteristic have to be included in the aggregation level.
●     The key figures used have to have the database aggregations SUM, MIN or MAX. With MIN or MAX, key figure values can only be displayed. They cannot be changed using manual planning or planning functions.
●     For key figures of type date or time, only the data type u2018DECu2019 is supported.
●     Referencing key figures (and thus also non-cumulative key figures or elimination of internal business volume) are not supported in aggregation layers.
●     If a characteristic is compounded and used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain all compounding "parent" characteristics.
●     If a key figure is used in an aggregation level and does not have a fixed unit of measure or currency, the aggregation level must contain the associated characteristic for the unit.
●     If a key figure with exception aggregation is used in an aggregation level, the aggregation level must also contain the characteristic for exception aggregation if it occurs in the underlying InfoProvider
●     The aggregation level inherits a navigation attribute from the underlying InfoProvider if it includes the basic characteristic of the navigation attribute. Note that the navigation attribute for an aggregation level is not visible in the Planning Modeler. It is only visible in the Query Designer.
●     An aggregation level cannot be created on MultiProviders if a characteristic of an InfoProvider contained in the MultiProvider supplies two different characteristics in the MultiProvider.
●     If a characteristic on the InfoProvider that serves as the basis for an aggregation level is constant, this characteristic has to be included in the aggregation level.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to catch Ack 997 in orchestration ?

it is possible that I could catch the ACK 997 message in an orchestration which receiving an inbound X12 210?
It seems that I only have a change to create a receive port and filter it to get Ack 997 after deploy the project.
If I could, I can manipulate it.

What do is not helpful?
You can reference the Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BaseArtifacts and you can see the schema, or you can put a send port
filter where BTS.MessageType="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Edi/X12#X12_997_Root"
If my explainations don't make sense, please explain how it doesn't make sense and this free technical support will assist
as we can.
We don't know where you are development wise, so help us help you...
