Biztalk File send port with a variable path - biztalk

Is it possible to make the send port change output location based on a promoted property?
We have an interface that needs to send it to a different port based on the client. But we add clients on a regular basis, so adding a new send port (both in the administrator and orchestration) will require a lot of maintenance, while the only thing that happens is a directory change
The folders are like this ...
\\server\SO\client1\Out
\\server\SO\client2\Out
\\server\SO\client3\Out
I tried using the SourceFilename to create a file name like client1\Out\filename.xml but this doesn't work.
Is there any way to do this with a single send port?

It is possible to set the OutboundTransportLocation property in context. This property contains the full path/name of the file that will be output by the file adapter. So in your case I guess you could do something along the line (if it had to be done in a pipeline component):
message.Context.Write(
OutboundTransportLocation.Name,
OutboundTransportLocation.Namespace,
string.format(#"\\server\SO\{0}\Out", client));
Of course you can do a similar thing in your orchestration.
No need of a dynamic port...

Can asterisk monitor() and mixmonitor() applications be executed on same channel?

Im recording calls with Mixmonitor() application, it works fine, but recently i had a request to record each leg of call with addition to mixedfile. I know, that i can record each leg of call with Monitor() and then use external script tp mix it, but the problem is that it is additional loading of server. So I wonder can I do it by means of asterisk? For example by using Monitor and Mixmonitor together?
You can specify the call-legs with MixMonitor's parameters:
MixMonitor(mixed.wav,r(in.wav)t(out.wav))
as stated in the description:
asterisk*CLI> core show application MixMonitor
r(file): Use the specified file to record the *receive* audio feed.
Like with the basic filename argument, if an absolute path isn't given,
it will create the file in the configured monitoring directory.
t(file): Use the specified file to record the *transmit* audio feed.
Like with the basic filename argument, if an absolute path isn't given,
it will create the file in the configured monitoring directory.

BizTalk 2013 - execute stored procedure on send port without orchestration?

A while back I set up BizTalk to pick up a file via FTP and drop it into a network directory. It's all passsthru so I didn't use an orchestration.
Now I've been asked to execute a stored procedure once the file is picked up. The procedure contains no parameters and I do not need the contents of the file.
It seems like such a simple request but I can't figure it out. Is there any way to do this without over complicating things?
This can be accomplished through the use of either the WCF-SQL adapter or the WCF_Custom adapter with a SQL binding. You can do this using messaging only with just a SendPort with a filter/map on it thus no orchestration needed.
For the SOAP action header use TypedProcedure/dbo/name_of_your_stored_procedure and in the messages tab you can specify the paramters to the stored procuders as well as add a payload in the following manner:
<name_of_your_stored_procedure xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/TypedProcedures/dbo">
<parameter1>XXXX</parameter1>
<xml_parameter>
<bts-msg-body xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/bts2007" encoding="string"/>
</xml_parameter>
</name_of_your_stored_procedure>
In the above case xml_parameter will have the contents of the message payload passed to it.
The stored procedure should look something like :
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[name_of_your_stored_procedure]
#parameter1 int,
#xml_parameter nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
-- your code goes here
END

This MSDN page describes the process and has this to say: "You must create a BizTalk orchestration to use BizTalk Server for performing an operation on SQL Server."
However if you're really desperate not to use an orchestration I believe you have the option of setting the operation context property in a custom pipeline component. Then you can initialise the message in a map on a port. In theory this should work but I can't guarantee it.

Renaming files using custom pipeline in BizTalk

I tried to rename a file before sending the file to an ftp location using the SFTP adapter in BizTalk 2013. Can you help me on this ?
You need to change the FILE.ReceivedFileName property on the message to your new filename.
If you use an orchestration you can do this in an expression within a message assignment shape as follows:
OutboundMessage(FILE.ReceivedFileName) = "NewFileName.csv"
If you aren't using an orchestration you have to use a custom pipeline component.
The code to do this within the component is as follows, which goes in the pipeline component's Execute method:
pInMsg.Context.Write("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties", "NewFileName.csv");
Finally in the SFTP adapter set the filename to %SourceFileName%
Hope this helps.
I believe the URL for the context is different per adapter.
The one you need is:
SFTP:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2012/Adapter/sftp-properties
So in your case it would be :
pInMsg.Context.Write("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2012/Adapter/sftp-properties", "NewFileName.csv");
Thx

biztalk putting the processed file into some folder

I have a requirement:
If I get a file, I am putting the content of that file into a database,
If there is any error in that file, I am putting it in an error folder.
Can I do something like this? Suppose I have a folder "processed" and another one "unprocessed". In case of an error, result will go in "unprocessed" and if there is no error it will go into "processed".
I don't know how to achieve that if biztalk processed some file then only put into some folder.
I suppose if I will put filter option BTS.ReceivePortName it will also put the error file into process folder.
It's very easy to create an extra send port that archives all input files.
If there's an error you just find the file, fix the issue, and re-drop it.
Create a send port, set up the filters to select the input you want (like BTS.ReceivePortName as you already know), use a pass through pipeline, then configure it as to write files. Write your files to a backup directory.
If you only want to catch errors then you will have to do extra setup. You must use an orchestration. Put a scope shape around your normal processing in the orchestration. Place an exception to catch errors on the scope shape. In the exception handler use a send shape to construct and write a copy of the original message to a send port. Add an expression to write some helpful message to the event log so you can debug the failure.

Windows Mobile: "My network card connects to" registry settings

Can anybody please tell me the registry setting(s) that are affected in Windows Mobile 6.1 when a user selects Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi and then changes the value of the "My network card connects to" drop down list on the "Network Adapters" tab?
I have a device that seems to default this to "The Internet" when in fact the Wi-Fi connects to the corporate network and I would like to be able to change this programatically rather than expecting 250+ users to have to do it manually every time they reboot their devices.
Thanks.
I'm not certain that it is a registry change, but if it is, it's easy to determine.
Use the remote registry editor and attach to the device
Save the entire registry to a file
Change the network settings
Save the registry again
Use your favorite diff program to compare the two files
I think you should be able to change this setting using provisioning xml, either via DMProcessConfigXML api, or by making a setup cpf with the xml in it and running it on the device. This post details how to build the xml into a cpf.
The CSP you would be interested in is the Wifi CSP
The 'Work Network' and 'The Internet' are metanetworks that are specified in the xml by guid, usually in the DestId parm. My answer to this question details the xml you can use to pass to DMProcessConfigXML to read the settings on the device to see what they are. Then you can build some xml to just set the right setting. I suspect that you would just need to set the DestId parm of the appropriate wifi entry to the 'Work Network' guid.
According to my registry comparison on WM5 (HTC Touch HD), corroborated by values in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737539%28v=MSDN.10%29.aspx, this setting is specified in the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WiFi\Ethernet\DestID.
"{436EF144-B4FB-4863-A041-8F905A62C572}" (default) The Internet
"{A1182988-0D73-439e-87AD-2A5B369F808B}" Work
I also tried a CE2003 device (Motorola MC50), but couldn’t detect any registry changes. The key above does not exist in the registry on this device.
