BizTalk Value Cross Reference

If you dont have idea on Biztalk Cross Reference data. Please go through my previous blog on Biztalk Cross Reference

Value CROSS REFERENCE:

Scenario:

Field	Common Value	Application1 ID	Application 2 ID	Application 3 ID
Type	tax	TA	Bounded	ST

Solution:

1. Create XML files that represent cross reference data.

   listOfAppType.xml

   

   listOfAppInstance.xml

   

   listOfValueXRef.xml

   

   listOfValueXRefData.xml

   

   SetupFile.xml

   

2. Now you have all the data that you need for your Value cross Reference. Now deploy these data to the BizTalk Management Database.

   Give the following Command in your command prompt.

   btsxrefimport –file=SetupFile.xml

3. Using the cross reference in your map.

   From the Tool box drop the Get Common Value Functoid and connect the type field from your source schema to it.

   

   Double Click the Get Common ID Functoid and add 2 more inputs as shown below

   

   Re arrange the input parameters order as follows. Otherwise you will get GetCommonValue() functiod failed as the method takes the parameters as follows:

   GetCommonValue(string valueXRef, string appType, string appValue);Ex:

   Ex:

   CrossReferencing.GetCommonValue("Type", "Application1", "TA")

   

   Now drop the Get Application Value Functoid and connect the output of Get Common Value Functoid to this one.

   

   Configure the Get Application Value Functoid Inputs as shown below.

   

   Re arrange the input parameters order as follows. Otherwise you will get GetAppValue() functiod failed as the method takes the parameters as follows:

   GetAppValue(string valueXRef, string appType, string commonValue)

   Ex:

   strCommonValue = CrossReferencing.GetCommonValue("Type", "Application1", "TA");

   strCompany2AppValue = CrossReferencing.GetAppValue("Type", "Application2", strCommonValue);

   

   The Output of this Functoid will be the equivalent Application2 value for the Application1 Input.

   Similarly Map for the Application1 and Application3.

Output:

BizTalk ID Cross Reference

If you dont have idea on Biztalk Cross Reference data. Please go through my previous blog on Biztalk Cross Reference

ID Cross Reference:

Scenario:

Field	Common ID	Application1 Value	Application2 Value	Application03 Value
Status	1	Open	Entered	Started
Status	2	Closed	Done	Finished

Solution:

1. Create XML files that represent cross reference data.

   listOfAppType.xml

   

   listOfAppInstance.xml

   

   listOfIDXRef.xml

   

   listOfIDXRefData.xml

   

   SetupFile.xml

   

2. Now you have all the data that you need for your ID cross Reference. Now deploy these data to the BizTalk Management Database.

   Give the following Command in your command prompt.

   btsxrefimport –file=SetupFile.xml

3. Using the cross reference in your map.

   From the Tool box drop the Get Common ID Functoid and connect the Status field from your source schema to it.

   

   Double Click the Get Common ID Functoid and add 2 more inputs as shown below

   

   Re arrange the input parameters as follows otherwise GetCommonID() functiod failed as the method takes the parameters as follows:

   GetCommonID(string idXRef, string appInstance, string appId);

   Ex: CrossReferencing.GetCommonID("Status", "Application1Instance", "Open");

   

   Now drop the Get Application ID Functoid and connect the output of Get Common ID Functoid to this one.

   

   Configure the Get Application ID Functoid Inputs as shown below.

   

   Re arrange the input parameters order as follows. Otherwise you will get GetAppID() functiod failed as the method takes the parameters as follows:

   GetAppID(string idXRef, string appInstance, string commonId)

   Ex:
   strCommonID = CrossReferencing.GetCommonID("Status", "Application1Instance", "Open");
   strApp22AppID = CrossReferencing.GetAppID("status", "Application2Instance", strCommonID);

   

   The Output of this Functoid will be the equivalent Application2 value for the Application1 Input.

   Similarly Map for the Application1 and Application3.

Windows Azure Biztalk Adapter Service: There was no endpoint listening at 'XXX' that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action

When I am working with Windows Azure Biztalk Services. I was encountered one issue as follows:

There was no endpoint listening at https://xxx.servicebus.windows.net/biztalkadapterdemo/event/ that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

 After lots of searching online and looking at logs etc it turned out to be a simple solution to just restart the WAS service (Windows Process Activation Service)

Windows Azure Biztalk Adapter Service: ConnectionException: Login Failed for user 'XXX'

When you are working with the Windows Azure Biztalk Adapter Services and SQL LOB Type. You may get the following exception.

 ConnectionException: Login Failed for user 'XXX' 

The reason is the provided user is unable to authenticate SQL Database. Verify your login details for having permissions to that data base or not.

For Windows Azure Biztalk Services, you can authenticate through the following 4 different options:

FIXED USER: This is the SQL authentication that we provided in the machine.
FIXED WINDOWS CREDENTIALS: You can provide a Domain, Username and Password to connect to the SQL Database.
CUSTOM SOAP HEADER: The client as a part of message is going to sent a UserName and Password to connect to Sql Database. This will come as part of the SOAP header.
MESSAGE CREDENTIAL: Client will send username and Password in WS-Security header of the message.
