Harnessing the Power of Custom XSLT in BizTalk Maps

 Introduction:

While BizTalk Mapper provides a robust and intuitive interface for most mapping scenarios, there are instances where the complexity of the mapping demands a more flexible approach. In such cases, leveraging custom XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) allows us to exert fine-grained control over the transformation process. In this blog post, we will explore the steps involved in utilizing custom XSLT within a BizTalk map, highlighting the importance of understanding that BizTalk Mapper links are superseded when custom XSLT is employed.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  • Right click on the mapper grid and click on properties.



  • Refer the XSLT file in the Custom XSLT path

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...
