I have built a flatfile schema with the flatfile schema wizard.
The schema is valid and I could successfully validate my test instance against the schema.(So the XML file was created correctly).
But when I put my test flat file into a receive location that uses a flatfile disassembler pipeline, nothing happens after the receive location has picked up the message (the logical receive port is bounded to an orchestration)
In the BizTalk Admin Console I only see in the tracked message events from the pipeline that the message has been received. But not sent.
Maybe some of you already had a similar issue and could help me here.
Tracked message events in the pipeline
So. The issue was a wrong declared header schema. I have rebuild it and after that it was working fine.
I have recognized the issue by removing the header schema from the pipeline properties and trigger a new process. At this time the message was created correctly (but with the header line due to a missing header schema that would prevent that line).
Thanks to all who helped here!

I have a pipeline that is working for a file receive location. This pipeline accepts a csv file and maps it to an XML.
I'm now trying to setup a new email receive location using the same port, pipeline and pipeline settings.
Shouldn't biztalk ignore everything but the attachment if I set the body part index equal to 2? And then it should place the attachment in the pipeline just like with the file location, then the pipeline would output an XML file.
Error:
Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.PersistenceException: Exception occurred when persisting state to the database. ---> Microsoft.BizTalk.XLANGs.BTXEngine.PersistenceItemException: A batch item failed persistence Item-ID 72fbeba9-6bfe-48e0-a0e6-ca5bbd191aa1 OperationType MAIO_CommitBatch Status -1061151998 ErrorInfo The published message could not be routed because no subscribers were found. . ---> Microsoft.BizTalk.XLANGs.BTXEngine.PublishMessageException: Failed to publish (send) a message in the batch. This is usually because there is no one expecting to receive this message. The error was The published message could not be routed because no subscribers were found. with status -1061151998

I tried stopping the orchestration and the send port and test both locations.
Testing the email location I got the same error with an email with a .csv attachment.
Testing the file location the data didn't reach the database, but the csv was processed because I could see it in the information logs.
This leads me to the conclusion that the problem is related with the mime decoding and whatever my pipeline is outputing from the email body parts.
Also after researching for a while all solutions seem to point to the necessity of having a pipeline exclusively for email since I need to say which part of the multibody part to decode. I was hoping there was a solution that would allow me to reuse the pipeline I use for the file location.
As #Dijkgraaf mentioned:
It is not failing in the pipeline. It is failing due to there being no Orchestration or Send Port that is expecting the message the Receive Port has published to message box.
That means that the receive worked, that the message has passed the pipeline, and is published in the Messagebox, but there is no matching subscription.
Check for routing failures in the BizTalk management console to find out why. It may be that the message type is not waht you expected, or that one more published properties are not set correctly.
See the suspended message and check which body part is the CSV file. Your config says its it should be the 3rd message BodyPart = 2.
I am trying to publish a message to BizTalk message box using a WMI script . Basically, I am reading the message from non resumable instance. I need to publish this message back to message box instead of saving as file.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Actually, MQ would probably work for you. What you can do is 'encode' the properties and write them to the MSMQ Label property for example.
Then, you can use a custom Pipeline Component on the Receive Location that 'decodes' the MQ property and re-writes the message context properties.
I've done similar in the past and it works just fine.
I've got a new production computer and installed my BizTalk app on there. The problem is that I don't see any messages in the event log, nor from my BizTalk app or BizTalk Server itself. The only message that appears in the event log is the following:
The following BizTalk host instance has initialized successfully.
BizTalk host name: BizTalkServerApplication
Windows service name: BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication
The source of that message is BizTalk Server. And no messages at all, even no logs about errors which I suppose already took place.
Just a quick thought incase you are still having problems.
I tried to write to the event log with a source type that didnt already exist and my BizTalk Host user account didn’t have permissions to create a new source type. This meant I never saw the entry in the event log.
E.g. (from example #Bill Osuch)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyBiztalkApp", "oh i did something");
Make sure either the MyBiztalkApp source exists or that your user has permissions on the event log to create it.
Also, if you have a lot of messages going through BizTalk you will probably want to implement your own logging so your event log doesn’t fill up. We used Log4Net for our implementation and a database to store messages.
If you're not getting any errors (suspended messages) as the messages process, you're not going to see anything in the app log. You could try adding an Expression shape to your orchestration and manually writing out some debug info:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("event type", "whatever...");
Does your application actually use the BiztalkServerApplication host? Check in the Biztalk Administration Console if all the host instances are indeed running. Is your application fully started? Messages are "put on hold" if your receive location is disabled for example.
To check this functionality, write to event log after every operation or shape in BizTalk orchestration.
Scenario-
Suppose you have to assigned a value to xpath of node in a map after transformation so in message assignment shape after you assign some value, you can write eventlog to admin console.
Ex. Suppose we have already initialized - "orderType" as "PO" in our expression shape and now we have to assign the value of "orderType" to the xpath of a node in our map then-
Shape- MessageAssignment(Under constructMessage Shape after transformation of map)
xpath(msgGetOrderReq, "/[local-name()='CustomerOrders' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']/[local-name()='ordertype' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']") = ordertype;
Next to this we want to print this information on the admin console so we need to write:-
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("msgGetOrderReq", ordertype, msgGetOrderReq);
Build the project, Deploy and GAC it. Restart the host instance. Run the orchestration, process something and now you will be able to see the logs in admin console.

I'm relatively new to Biztalk and I'm having a bit of hassle with this:
I have built a simple orchestration, hooked it up correctly to a receive port, I'm using the correct schema and map and the orchestration seems to be subscribing ok.
However, when the file I want to process gets picked up at the port I'm getting the 'could not be routed because no subscribers were found' error.
I ran a HAT query and can see the orch has an active subsription to the correct thing, is there anything else I can check on this?
Is your port hooked directly to the orchestration or is the orchestration picking the message up from the message box? Has the orchestration receive been set to Activate?
What does your subscription filter look like for the orchestration?
As a futher test:
a) create a sendport (FILE)
b) add a filter to it; BTS.ReceivePortName =
c) grab the resulting file - it should be the XML thats produced by your Custom PL
d) Use this file with a receive location using an XML Receive PL and see how your orchestration reacts to
This will at least rule out a Pipeline issue...
HTH
Check your pipeline is XMLReceive. This will promote the MessageType property and hopefully your orchestration will subscribe successfully.
Find the failed message in HAT and look at the body of the message. Copy it out and then run validate it against the schema of the message you are expecting. If it doesn't validate then you have set your flat file disassembler up incorrectly.
I want to pull something from the server (no delete), parse the file in the pipeline component, process the file, if everything goes successfully, I want the adapter delete the file.
i am thinking to enlist the parsing into the pipeline context, this way, I am picturing if the file cannot be parsed, the file will not get to the message box, therefore it will be deemed as a failed transaction, question, will the adapter participate in this transaction? in other words, my goal is to instruct the adapter to delete the file from the server ONLY when the pipeline processed successfully (transaction is commited), the file is left untouched on the server if the pipeline failed (transaction is rolled back, no message is commited to msg box)
Is this achievable? thanks in advance
I think a little experiment is in order. BizTalk, as part of it's nature, will not delete anything until it has been peristed to the message box. That being said, persitence might happen before PipeLine execution. So, the receive adapter receives the file, perists it to the message box and deletes the file. The message might subsequently fail in the pipeline. If this is the case, then the message is a bad format and it will have to be subsequently resubmitted by the sender. If you want to keep this message, you'll have to pick it up with Failed Message Routing. You can then write it to a directory and implement a resubmit pattern. Or, you can pick up the file via Failed Message Routing and put it back on the FTP server (this is sort of a compensation step).
On the otherhand, if the pipeline fails and the message isn't deleted fromt he server... you're fine.
