This is what I have implemented in my CordApp:
Now while doing flow test, It's passing till Contract C. But the flow test for Contract D is failing. According to logs, it's trying to validate all states(i.e i/p and o/p) using same Command.
I found one similar question: Transaction verification failed when using different type of states as input and output
But if that was true than my Contract C Flow test cases should have also failed?
Nevertheless, as mentioned in answer, I removed validation for input states in contract D, so that one contract will validate only one state. But still same error is coming.
Any pointer on what is going wrong?
Note that:
Contracts do not verify individual states, they verify entire transactions
When verifying a transaction, the contracts of both the input and output states are run
So in your case, if I understand your diagram correctly:
The first transaction (from the left) has no inputs, output StateA, and is verified by running ContractA (associated with StateA)
The second transaction has no inputs, output StateB, and is verified by running ContractB (associated with StateB)
The third transaction has input StateB, output StateC, and is verified by running ContractB (associated with StateB) and ContractC (associated with StateC)
The fourth transaction (on the far-right) has inputs StateA and StateC, output StateD, and is verified by running ContractA (associated with StateA), ContractC (associated with StateC) and ContractD (associated with StateD)

Issue with an old Biz app (not designed or developed by myself).
Its orchestration receives a particular message, which is then fed into a Decision shape. If the below logic applies (as directly copy/pasted from the shapes first branch expression), it should go that route.
msg_inputCanonical.CRUD == "D" && msg_inputCanonical.DbTable == "Staff"
I can see it terminating however (by using the Orchestration Debugger) as it follows the Else branch and eventually hits a terminate shape.
I've checked the msg_inputCanonical to confirm the values being passed through (as below extracted from the Tracked Message part), and can see it matches the string condition in accordance with its mapping - CRUD = ChOp;
<DbTable>Staff</DbTable>
<ChOp>D</ChOp>
There's nothing else that I can see that's influencing this re-route, so can anyone think of any quirks that might be causing it?
Note: I've amended the WCF-SQL Stored Procedure that generates the msg_inputCanonical as prior to this it wasn't trimming any of the CRUD/DbTable values and had been leaving deadspace in.
There is also a map that uses ltrim/rtrim functoids on the ChOp property, but again - can't see what harm trimming an already trim'd field would do.
I have also tried replicating the logic in a dev environment, and it works as expected going down the correct branch when I'm passing the message through.
We have BizTalk 2010.
Description task:
First system send message with:
- ID in First system
- ID in Second system
Second system receive message and send another message with:
- Confirmed received message number
- ID in First system
- ID in Second system
.
Questions:
1. What is the best way find ID in Second system in next time?
e.g.
-------------------------------------
Mess1 from First System
IntIdMess1 = 123456789
IdFirst = 1
IdSecond = Empty
-------------------------------------
Mess2 from Second System
IntIdMess2 = 9876545432
Confirmed = 123456789
IdFirst = 1
IdSecond = 367
-------------------------------------
Mess2 from First System
IntIdMess1 = 534735648
IdFirst = 1
IdSecond = 367
How I can find 367 for Mess2 using Orchestration in BizTalk?
Or other way I can use?
What you need to use are what is are called correlations.
Depending on the situation you are either going to need one or two correlations sets, depending if the the Confirmation message from Second system is Synchronous or Asynchronous. I will assume Asynchronous as that is the more complex
You will need to define two correlation sets, one for IntIdMess1, lets call it IntIdMess1Corr and the other for IdSecond, lets call it IdSecondCorr
Orchestration receives Mess1 from System1 via a Receive Shape and sends it to System2 via a Send shape, you need the Initializing Correlation Sets and this Send Shape configured to the IntIdMess1Corr.
Then you will have a Receive Shape that gets the Confirmed message from System2, this receive shape will have the Following Correlation Sets set to IntIdMess1Corr and the Initializing Correlation Sets configured to IdSecondCorr.
Then you will have another receive shape to receive the last shape where the Following Correlation Sets is configured to IdSecondCorr.
When you initialize an correlation, the Orchestration will publish a Instance Subscription. That is, it is looking for a message with the Promoted Properties that are specified.
I have asked another question with almost same scenario, A catch 22 in generating 999 file
Basically, I am inbounding HIPPA 837 files and am required to generate 999 response file.
Today I inbounded a file with ST02 element missing.
The TA1 created with Accept status, cause it only cares ISA-IEA level and that part is good.
BizTalk inbounded the file, found the issue, and actually generated a 999 message, but it failed to send out as a physical file because:
Unable to read the stream produced by the pipeline.
Details: Error: 1 (Field level error)
SegmentID: AK2
Position in TS: 3
Data Element ID: AK202
Position in Segment: 2
Data Value:
1: Mandatory data element missing
So here's the catch 22: A 999 should be created to report error for this incoming 837 file, The 999's AK202 is a required field reference to incoming file's transactionnumber defined in ST02.
And the error of the incoming file is it is missing this ST02.
Now, for this scenario, it ends up with an accept TA1 and a pending message in BizTalk messageBox.
In our trading partners view, they send a file and ONLY get a TA1 response with accept status.
My question goes here:
1. Which is the right file to report this kind of error (ST02 missing), TA1 or 999?
Is there anyway to bypass this error and have the 999 created?
There's an RFI on this at x12.org: http://rfi.x12.org/Request/Details/55?stateViewModel=WPC.RFI.Models.ViewModels.RequestViewModel
The TLDR version: you should reject the entire functional group, and use the control identifier from the functional group in AK202.
Here's the relevant text:
Description
What Segments/Data Elements should be used in the 997 when reporting an error in ST02 (Transaction Set Control Number) when the error is related to syntax or min/max? If you attempt to create a 997 back to the submitter with the inbound data from ST02 in AK202 of the 997 you would be creating an invalid 997 transaction. It appears there may be a gap in the 997 standard for reporting errors at this level. If we have misinterpreted the use of the transaction and it can be reported, please let us know how.
Response
Data elements AK102 and AK202 located within transaction set 997 and transaction set 999 are to be used to convey the values of control numbers in the functional group or transaction sets being acknowledged. If including a copy of the value of a data element in the 997 or 999 would cause a syntax violation in the 997 or 999, then if the violation is to be reported at the level at which it was found it must be reported at the next higher level.
Recommendation
The official response to a formal RFI is a letter from the current ASC X12 chair. This website often displays a summary of the RFI. Click here to view a PDF of the letter for this RFI.
When reporting errors after the syntactic analysis of the transaction set, the data analyzed must be able to be reported within the acknowledgment. While data element AK404 supports reporting the value of a data element that fails syntactic analysis without violating the syntax of the 997, the same does not apply to AK202. There are two generally accepted methods of acknowledging transaction sets: 1) acknowledge all transaction sets within the functional group or 2) acknowledge only those transaction sets containing errors. It is not recommended to accept a functional group with errors if the transaction set control number in error cannot be reported in AK202. For the example in your request, the appropriate action is to reject the entire functional group containing the ST02 value which when echoed in AK202 would create a syntactically invalid 997. In addition, the same logic applies to the functional group control number;, the appropriate action is to reject the entire interchange containing the syntactically invalid data.
Background
I have an issue where roughly once a month the AIFQueueManager table is populated with ~150 records which relate to messages which had been sent to AX (where they "successfully failed"; i.e. errorred due to violation of business rules, but returned an exception as expected) over 6 months ago.
Question
What tables are involved in the AIF inbound message process / what order to events occur in? e.g. XML file is picked up and recorded in the AifDocumentLog, data's extracted and added to the AifQueueManager and AifGatewayQueue tables, records from here are then inserted in the AifMessageLog, etc.
Thanks in advance.
There are 4 main AIF classes, I will be talking about the inbound only, and focusing on the included file system adapter and flat XML files. I hope this makes things a little less hazy.
AIFGatewayReceiveService - Uses adapters/channels to read messages in from different sources, and dumps them in the AifGatewayQueue table
AIFInboundProcessingService - This processes the AifGatewayQueue table data and sends to the Ax[Document] classes
AIFOutboundProcessingService - This is the inverse of #2. It creates XMLs with relevent metadata
AIFGatewaySendService - This is the inverse of #1, where it uses adapters/channels to send messages out to different locations from the AifGatewayQueue
For #1
So #1 basically fills the AifGatewayQueue, which is just a queue of work. It loops through all of your channels and then finds the relevant adapter by ClassId. The adapters are classes that implement AifIntegrationAdapter and AifReceiveAdapter if you wanted to make your own custom one. When it loops over the different channels, it then loops over each "message" and tries to receive it into the queue.
If it can't process the file for some reason, it catches exceptions and throws them in the SysExceptionTable [Basic>Periodic>Application Integration Framework>Exceptions]. These messages are scraped from the infolog, and the messages are generated mostly from the receive adaptor, which would be AifFileSystemReceiveAdapter for my example.
For #2
So #2 is processing the inbound messages sitting in the queue (ready/inprocess). The AifRequestProcessor\processServiceRequest does the work.
From this method, it will call:
Various calls to Classes\AifMessageManager, which puts records in the AifMessageLog and the AifDocumentLog.
This key line: responseMessage = AifRequestProcessor::executeServiceOperation(message, endpointActionPolicy); which actually does the operation against the Ax[Document] classes by eventually getting to AifDispatcher::callServiceMethod(...)
It gets the return XML and packages that into an AifMessage called responseMessage and returns that where it may be logged. It also takes that return value, and if there is a response channel, it submits that back into the AifGatewayQueue
AifQueueManager is actually cleared and populated on the fly by calling AifQueueManager::createQueueManagerData();.
Is there any way (C# or native) of counting the messages in a message queue (sub queue).
Using a queue name of "DIRECT=OS:slc11555001\private$\file-queue;retry"
I want to know how many messages are in the sub queue. At the moment I can see using the management console that there are in fact messages in that queue. If the OS can do it, so should I.
MQMgmtGetInfo returns 0xc00e0020 (which is not a documented error code).
I am therefore confused.
I am using code from here:
http://functionalflow.co.uk/blog/2008/08/27/counting-the-number-of-messages-in-a-message-queue-in/
The error is as follows (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304287):
MQ_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_FORMATNAME_OPERATION (0xC00E0020).
MQMgmtGetInfo won't understand the subqueue format name.
The retry subqueue only really exists as a logical division of private$\file-queue queue.
You can call a count on the file-queue but not subqueues within it.
Cheers
John
From the MSDN page on subqueues:
Subqueues are created implicitly, so only the following APIs can be
used with subqueues: MQOpenQueue, MQCloseQueue, MQCreateCursor,
MQReceiveMessage, MQReceiveMessageByLookupId, MQHandleToFormatName,
MQMoveMessage, and MQPathNameToFormatName. Calling any of the other
Message Queuing APIs returns an error
