Reading message contexts from WCF custom behavior

Hi,
I'm trying to create a WCF custom behavior extension because I can't simply use out of box WCF adapters without this customization. I'm trying to write some custom code in BeforeSendRequest() method in the message inspector, and I wonder from here if
I can access to message contexts.
Thanks for you help in advance!

Hi,
Message Context is not directly available at WCF adapter as it gets copied to WCF Context. Below are couple of links which might be useful to progress with:

Hope this will help.

Setting de-batched message specific message context properties in custom disassembler

I have recently created a custom disassemble component which can handle a message batch. The message batch can contain multiple messages and the custom component during de-batching recognizes this and does appropriate disassembly. All this is working fine.
The issue I have is that in the disassembler in the disassembled message part I copy the base message context, then assign additional properties. This is resulting in the context of the base message getting modified and as a result, all messages come into
BizTalk with the same context (which is wrong) but the correct message data.
So I could trace it to the statement debatchedMessage.Context = pInMsg.Context. It is not the copy but the reference which is being passed which is causing an overwrite and causing me grief.
Anybody else noticed this behavior? or perhaps knows of a fix? or perhaps knows of a method which will allow me to
COPY the message context?
Regards.

What you are seeing is the expected behavior. You are correct:
debatchedMessage.Context = pInMsg.Context
merely assigns the context as a reference.
There is no shortcut to copying the context properties as there is in an Orchestration so you have to copy them one by one:
for (int i = 0; i < pInMsg.Context.CountProperties; i++)
string Name
string Namespace;
object PropValue = pInMsg.Context.ReadAt(i, out Name, out Namespace);
if (pInMsg.Context.IsPromoted(Name, Namespace))
outMsg.Context.Promote(Name, Namespace, PropValue);
else
outMsg.Context.Write(Name, Namespace, PropValue);

Read message synchronously from JMS queue using OSB

Hi,
Is it possible to read message from the JMS queue using OSB based on the request invocation. I know messages can be read from the queue but it will be polling based.
The requirement is to have an OSB proxy service (HTTP service ) an an interface to the client application. Client application invokes the proxy service and the proxy service need to read message from the JMS queue and provide the message as response to the client.
Let me know if there are any pointers.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi,
I spent some time trying to do this and apart from creating custom database tables etc. I was not able to achieve this.
We wanted to use in memory JMS queues in our situation.
In the end we developed a Java Web Service which preformed the on-demand read from the queue (using a particular message selector)
This is working for us without a problem

Accessing ADF context from a custom servlet

I have an ADF web application which has AMs,VOs & JSPXs. I also have another custom servlet which will implement 3rd party integration logic.
I need to :
- access the[u] currently live AM ,VO running in my web application from my custom servlet and use that data and send it to the 3rd party
how do i access the VO/AM/BCs ?
i tried the http://www.thoughtsabout.net/blog/archives/000033.html approach ,but it doesnt seem to work.

Hi,
note that you can only access this information if the servlet is in the same session as the running application. The "bindings" object and the "data" object are rehistered in the session. So you should be able to pull the "bindings" attribute from the session and cast it to DCBindingContainer.
However, in your servlet you will not have any control over what currently is in the bindings container. So accessing the datacontrol, which is the ADF BC AM is the most you probably can do safely. Note that changes applied from your servlet to the AM are not automatically reflected in the application. For this you need to re-query the iterarors used.

Read GP Context from WD Application

Hi Experts,
is it possible to access the Context of a Guided Procedure from a standalone WebDynpro application?
I have a Guided Procedure Process with several parameters and I want to develop a custom overview screen that shows the status of several process instances including some of the process parameters.
This overview screen should look similar to the standard GP runtime but should be enhanced with parameters of the process (which will be entered by the processing user during execution.)
Any ideas how to achieve this? Is there a possibility in the API to access IGPExecutionContext directly from a WD Application?
Many thanks in advance,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
You can try the GP design time API to achieve this. You can refer the <a href="https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/gp/index.html">GP Design Time API</a> for this.
I tried with the GP runtime manager to start/stop a process. Below is a sample code:
public void showAllProcess( )
 //@@begin showAllProcess()
 IWDMessageManager msg = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
try{
 IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
 IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
 rtm = GPProcessFactory.getRuntimeManager();
 array = rtm.getRunningInstances(0,wdContext.currentInputElement().getStarDate() ,wdContext.currentInputElement().getEndDate(),user);
 catch(Exception e)
 msg.reportException(e.getMessage(), false);
 for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++){
 String instanceId = array.getProcessInstanceID();
 String processdescription = array.getDescription();
 String processTitle = array.getTitle();
 int status = array.getStatus();
 Date processStartDate = array.getStartDate();
 IWDNodeElement outputElement = wdContext.nodeOutput().createElement();
 outputElement.setAttributeValue("processID", instanceId);
 outputElement.setAttributeValue("processDesc", processdescription);
 //outputElement.setAttributeValue("processStartDate", new java.util.Date(processStartDate.getTime()));
 outputElement.setAttributeValue("processTitle", processTitle);
 outputElement.setAttributeValue("status", new Integer(status));
 wdContext.nodeOutput().addElement(outputElement);
 //@@end
public void stopProcess( )
 //@@begin stopProcess()
 IWDMessageManager msg = wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager();
 try {
 IWDClientUser wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
 IUser user = wdUser.getSAPUser();
 IGPProcessInstance instance = rtm.getProcessInstance(array[wdContext.nodeOutput().getLeadSelection()], user);
 msg.reportSuccess(instance.getTemplate().getTitle());
 rtm.stopProcess(instance,user);
 wdContext.nodeOutput().removeElement(wdContext.nodeOutput().getElementAt(wdContext.nodeOutput().getLeadSelection()));
 } catch (WDUMException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 msg.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
 } catch (GPEngineException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 msg.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
 } catch (GPInvocationException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 msg.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
 } catch(Exception e)
 e.printStackTrace();
 msg.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), true);
 //@@end
You can more details regarding the process from the process instance object.

Cannot read message bodystructure from Exchange 2010 with IMAP

Hi,
I'm trying to read mails from MS Exchange 2010 that have multipart/mixed content type and contain only one text/html part. I'm using IMAP and the newest Javamail 1.4.3. The mail processing fails when trying to fetch the bodystructure. I can process the same message perfectly well from Exchange 2003:

This seems to me like a bug in Exchange 2010, but does anyone know any work-around for this other than using POP3 that works with the same message?

Error in WCF custom behaviour

Hi All,
Its been quite some time i am struggling with this issue.
we have a wcf custom behavior which validates the schema. on top of that i have implemented logic to remove any attachment node (in received xml file we have a record called attachments which intern contains element which holds attachment data) if size is
greater than 2.5MB then re construct the element with value saying "your attachment has been removed".
code every thing is working fine with single message but when do a load test (with thread = 5 and number of test =10 in SOAP UI ) then getting a below warnings. (with single thread is working fine)
The adapter "WCF-CustomIsolated" raised an error message. Details "System.Xml.XmlException: The input source is not correctly formatted. at System.Xml.XmlExceptionHelper.ThrowXmlException(XmlDictionaryReader reader, String res, String
arg1, String arg2, String arg3) at System.Xml.XmlBufferReader.ReadValue(XmlBinaryNodeType nodeType, ValueHandle value)
The adapter "WCF-CustomIsolated" raised an error message. Details "System.Xml.XmlException: The prefix 'k' is not defined.at System.Xml.XmlExceptionHelper.ThrowXmlException(XmlDictionaryReader reader, String res, String arg1, String arg2,

below is the code used to read the attachment size
using (AttachmentReader = message4.GetReaderAtBodyContents().ReadSubtree())
while (AttachmentReader.Read())
if (AttachmentReader.IsStartElement())
strNs = AttachmentReader.NamespaceURI;// read the namespace of message for schema validation
while (AttachmentReader.ReadToFollowing(AtmtNode)) //read attachment node
countAttachment = countAttachment + 1; //count the number of attachments in a message
AtmtSize = AtmtSize + AttachmentReader.ReadElementContentAsString().Length;// check the size of attachment content node
AttachmentReader.Close();
//check of the size greater than 2.5MB
IsSizeMax = (AtmtSize > System.Convert.ToInt32(validateAtmtSize)) ? true : false;
//if size is greater than 2.5MB then remove the attachment node and reconstruct the same
if (count == attachmentCount) // Finally write the attachment node with configured message (converted to base64) this will read all the attachment nodes and writes only one record inspite of multiple attachments
if (HasAtbt) // if "attachments" record has any attributes then create attachments record with
along attributes
wr.WriteStartElement(AtmtRecord, Ns);//This will create "attachments" record with
attribute
wr.WriteElementString(AtmtName, "RemovedAttachment.txt");//"attachment_content_name"

Message no. VPD032
Diagnosis
Partners in the specified partner function cannot be processed online. The program generates them and completes the data automatically.

thanks ahead
Eyal

Hello Eyal,
Goto transaction "VOPA". For Customer master, Click on Partner Procedure
Double click on your partner procedure [Example WE: Ship-to Party].
In the next screen, check if the partner function 'TZ' is defined or not.
If the same is not present there, insert the partner function. Also, note that the partner function 'TF' would be present there.
These steps would resolve your issue.

WCF-Custom performance problem with large response messages

We're trying to debug a performance issue in Biztalk 2013 when using a WCF-Custom adapter to call en external WCF-enpoint.
From a Biztalk orchestration we're calling en external WCF-service to retrieve an xml message sometimes containing a lot of Base64 encoded data. The response message can be up to 10Mb in size. The send port is very slow in retrieving the response
and a 10Mb message can take up to 3min to retrieve. For comparison we've made a console program with the same service reference and binding as the Biztalk adapter uses and we can retrieve the same message in about 3 seconds.
The WCF is using binary encoding over http and we've set the maxMessageSize, maxBufferSize and maxBufferPoolSize to Int32-MaxValue. We realise that using Biztalk there will be overhead because the message is put into the message box but we're unsure how
to improve the performance of the send port.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
There are certain Optimization you can do with your BizTalk.
1)The first thing that I would do is to check the BizTalk SQL server jobs are running correctly
(SQL Sever Mgmt Studio –> SQL Server Agent –> Jobs). Lookout for the jobs with the word “CleanUp” in them.
2)Another check that you could do is to verify the entries in the Spool table
(Database[@Name='BizTalkMsgBoxDb']/Table[@Name='Spool']). Ideally, the number of entries should not be HUGE
(as in not over 100/200 entries)
3) Create seperate host and host handler for your send Port.
4) Set The MaxReceiveInterval from adm_service(BizTalk Management DB) class table 100 ms from 500(By default).
5)Increased the Throttling Settings Internal message queue size to 1000 from 100 In new Application Host.
6)Set the Maximum number of messaging engine threads per CPU to 40 (By default it is 20).
7) Add Max connection in your BTSNTSVC.exe.config file
<system.net>
 <connectionManagement>
 <add address
= “*” maxConnections = “300” />
 </connectionManagement>
</system.net>
For other setting you can look for BizTalk Optimization Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=10855
Above setting are for generic performance enhancement purpose.
Note: You can verify through Orchestration debugger or Orchestration tracing how much time send port is and pipeline is taking to publish the message to Biz Talk again .
These will give you better picture what more settings you need to apply .
Thanks

Root element is missing - Response from a WCF service - WCF-Custom adapter

hi BizTalk experts,
In the production environment, as soon as the response is getting subscribed by the orchestration, the orchestration instance is getting suspended and the error that shows up in console is
"Root element is missing".
I have checked the actual response message in the console it is a well formed xml. This is happening only for a few responses from the WCF services. A majority of them are getting processed successfully. I have tried getting the parsing the response in a
pipeline (using custom pipeline component, the production one uses xml receive) and pass it to the orchestration, but it fails giving the same error.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have any mapping done on the response message from the WCF service . ?
If so Better to copy the suspended message coming from the WCF service and validate against the custom response Schema you have created.
Note : You can try running fiddler tool to check the response from from the web service incase of failure.
Also try logging the message in the event viewer or any debug tool.
Thanks
Abhishek

Machine config entry of wcf custom end point behavior on deployment

Hi All,
We have created a custom wcf end point behavior and added to the wcf-custom isolated adapter.We are in the process of creating deployment package where we are struggling to add the wcf behavior detail in the machine config automatically but not manually(we
have 4 prd biztalk server).
Is there any tool or way to add the wcf behavior detail in the machine config without manual steps.We are using BTDF deployment tool to create a package but could not find a way to do using BTDF.
Thanks in advance.
Manish

Hi Manish,
Personally, I would not include the machine.config file in BizTalk deployment MSI. I would keep it separate process, as this file not specific to BizTalk alone, but depended on other programs in the machine.
Anyway, if you still need a way to add machine.config file (or any resource file). This is where the combination of "AdditionalFiles" tags under "ItemGroup" and "Target" comes in to use.
As per the BTDF document
"The AdditionalFiles ItemGroup is appropriate for any files that do not fall into a more specific ItemGroup that need to be packaged in the MSI and installed on the server along
with your application."
"To include miscellaneous individual files (vs. an entire folder or a large number of files) in the MSI, you may simply include one or both of the ItemGroup's
ExternalAssemblies(.NET DLL's to be installed in the GAC) or
AdditionalFiles(miscellaneous files). They will be automatically included in the MSI.
Following cnfig is for specifying the machine.config into the msi
<ItemGroup>
<AdditionalFiles Include="machine.config">
<LocationPath>..\SupportingConfig</LocationPath>
</AdditionalFiles>
</ItemGroup>
And use the "Target" add the included file in the destination location.
Reference: In the following BTDF documentation, search for terms "MSBuild ItemGroups" and "Packaging
an Application for Deployment"

Customizing the email message sent from BPF after step completion

Is it possible to customize the email message sent by BPF after a step completion.I would like to customize the email sent by the SAP BPC once a BPF step has been completed. Is it possible to add some dynamic parameters related to the BPF as part of the email message, for example : Cost Centre, Account, Finance or any dimension related to the BPF
Currently it sends out a message as given below
[Approve Data] step of [Test BPF 1] has been completed by dom\bpfuser
Where
[Test BPF 1] => Name of the BPF
[Approve Data] => A Step in the BPF
dom\bpfuser => Domain\ User name
Note :In the APPSET Parameter BPFSTEP_COMPLETE_MSG we tried to add a custom message but it seems to add to display along with the existing message and treats the variables as plain text.

I used the Note 2 for over 6 months before it started happening. About the same time, my husband's iPhone started sending text to email messages at attachments to I blamed it on his phone. I went into his settings and couldn't find any reason and I checked a multitude of websites and saw MANY people having the same issue with no resolution. I also tried deleting all text history and contact info from both of our phones but it continued to happen until I reset my phone to factory defaults.
2 weeks ago I purchased the Note 3 and text messages from my daughter started coming as [email protected] Again, I tried purging all contact information and text message history from both phones with no success. I waited until my daughter upgraded to a Galaxy S4 Mini. I reset my phone to factory at the same time I was setting her phone up and that has fixed the problem again.
My main concern now is that this bug will again randomly rear it's ugly head and I'll again have to reset my phone to factory, losing all my settings and taking days to customize it the way I want it again.
Thank you for ANY help you can give.

Reading the Context property of message in Orchestration

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);
