BizTalk Q and A

  • In Visual Studio 2019, where can the path for the Visual Studio config file or deven.exe config file be found?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\Common7\IDE

  • How do you set the object type in catch exception block properties in an orchestration?

  • Is it possible to copy and paste a variable within the orchestration view?

In the orchestration view, you can easily copy and paste a variable by following these steps:

  1. Right-click on the variable you want to copy.
  2. Select the "Copy" option from the menu.
  3. Paste the variable in the desired location.
Remember, after pasting, you will need to manually change the variable name. The new variable will automatically inherit the same data type as the original one. If necessary, you can also modify the data type of the new variable.

  • What is the shortcut key used for automatically completing a statement in the orchestration expression shape?

CNTRL  + Space

  • How can you access pipelines, maps, and schemas from another application within your own application in BizTalk Admin Console?
To view the pipelines, maps, and schemas of another application within your own application, you will need to reference that application with your application in BizTalk admin console. This will allow you to access and utilize the desired components seamlessly.


  • Where can I find sn.exe
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.8 Tools

  • What is the difference between promoted properties and distinguished properties?
Promoted Properties:
  • Promoted properties can be accessed in orchestration, receive ports, and send ports.
  • They are persisted in the message box.
  • There is a limitation of 256 characters for their values.
  • The syntax for accessing them would be something like this: messageName (PropertySchema.Field).
Distinguished Properties:
  • Distinguished properties are only accessible in orchestrations.
  • They are not persisted in the message box.
  • They are not used for tracking purposes.
  • Distinguished properties are represented as XPath aliases.
  • There is no character limitation for their values.

What is the command to GAC a dll?

REST API Calls with Query Parameters in BizTalk: A Step-by-Step Guide

Image
 Introduction In this blog, I will provide a comprehensive guide on how to call a REST API that requires query parameters. We'll walk through the necessary steps to set up the environment and make successful API calls. Solution High Level Steps 1. API Overview: We will be using an open API for demonstration purposes. The API endpoint we'll be working with is: https://randomuser.me/api/?results=1 2. Schema Creation: Create a schema named "SourceA" that matches the structure of the messages you'll be dropping in the receive location. To create a JSON response schema, follow these steps: capture the JSON response by running a test in Postman, and then utilize a JSON schema generator to create the desired JSON schema. 3. Field Promotion: In the SourceA schema, promote the field called "results." This field will serve as the variable for the query parameter. 4. Receive JSON Pipeline: Develop a receive JSON pipeline that can receive JSON messages and convert t...

Document flow in Boomi

Image
Document Flow in Boomi Each document may contain one or multiple records. Groups of documents move in a batch in Boomi. Boomi automatically loops through records and documents. Each path processes to completion before the next path begins. Different Shapes in Boomi Branch Processes entire deck of documents in each branch shape It executes each path sequentially. The documents flow down the subsequent paths only if the documents flowing down the preceding path succeed in completing the path A branch can have up to 25 paths Decision Sort the documents into 2 piles. The one which matches true is executed first and the other which matches false is executed last. Try-Catch This is used for error handling. All documents flow through the Try path. Failed document flow to the catch path Flow Control Batching Documents are batched into the specified size + remainder. For example you are batching by 5 documents and you receive 21 documents in that shape. It will be processed in batches in the ma...
