Good afternoon,
I'm trying to set the output file name in a send port and the available file name macros won't quite work.
I need something of the form "file.YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS". There's a datetime combined macro (with the wrong format), a time only macro, but no date only macro.
I don't have an orchestration for this process.
Is there any way I can set the file name from within a map or a pipeline?
Thanks!
You can achieve filename in this format YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS using following.
Use expression shape in orchestration and create four variables.
varDateTime=System.DateTime.Now; //varDateTime is datetime type
strDate=varDateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd"); //strDate is string type
strTime=varDateTime.ToString("HHmmss"); //strTime is string type
outboundfilename= ""+strDate + " _ " +strTime +" "; //outboundfilename is the string variable.
Use the following code in Message Assignment Shape
msgOutbound(FILE.ReceivedFileName)=outboundfilename+".xml";
//File extension can be any based on your requirement. I have xml file type.
You don't need custom pipeline to do this.
You can do it with a custom pipeline or an orchestration but not with a map. Info on building a custom pipeline can be found here:
BizTalk MSDN Blogs
This can be set by setting the FILE.ReceivedFileName (instead of BTS.ReceiveFileName).
You can create a custom pipeline component to be placed on the send side (say encode stage), and then set the BTS.ReceiveFileName property to the custom file name value that needs to be set.
After this is done, you can use the %SourceFileName% macro in the Send Port. You can also refer to this MSDN forum link for more details

I need to recognize a file type and make a decision in a decision shape according to a file type.
I will receive 2 types of file: csv and JPG. So if it is CSV - send here, if JPG - send another way. So my question is how to recognize file type in decision shape in a orchestration?
You can get the filename from the context property called BTS.ReceivedFileName on the message.
FileName = InputMessage(BTS.ReceivedFileName);
Then you will probably need to make a call to a C# method Path.GetExtension
extension = Path.GetExtension(FileName);
Then you can have a decision shape based on the extension
I have a XML source schema and an Flat file output schema.
Flat File Destination Schema:
Employee
FName
LName
I want the filename of output file as {LName}_{DateAndTime}. DateAndTime can be added by macros in BizTalk management console.
But can the value of {LNmae} be accessed somwhow?
I got an article to dynamically change the out filename in orchestration but it works for XMLTransit pipeline only.
https://blog.sandro-pereira.com/2009/10/23/biztalk-training-customize-filename-dynamically-inside-orchestration/
Please let me know if it can be achieved in BizTalk.
In an Orchestration or custom Pipeline Component, set the value of FILE.ReceivedFileName to your desired value: "Smith_02FEB19.txt".
Then you can use the %SourceFileName% Macro on the FILE or FTP Adapter to create the outfile with that name.
The File Name in the Send Port should be set with the mask like ABC.txt.pgp. Since I have used the PGP Encryption Component it is generating the File name like ABC.pgp.txt.pgp. But what I need is just the ABC.txt.pgp. How can be this be done. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
What you are seeing is the expected behavior. If you are referring to this:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/BizTalk-Sample-PGP-ebcbc8b2
or one of it's derivatives, it will internally modify FILE.ReceivedFileName to append .pgp if that property is set.
So, if you use just %SourceFileName%, you will likely get the desired result. Otherwise, you will have to explicitly set FILE.ReceivedFileName to ABC.txt somewhere before the PGP component.
You can also modify the source code to remove this behavior.

Thanks Johns-305. I included the Message assignment shape before the send shape and used the
SendMessage(FILE.ReceivedFileName) = "ABC.txt";
In the Send Port I used Filename as "%SourceFileName%". Now I get the filename as ABC.txt.pgp in the Send Port
Using argo uml and archgenxml, I have a file field. I would like to restrict it to one extension: .ttf
Can I do this using a tagged value?
Also is there a glossary for the AGXProfile which would answer this?
You could try the allowable_content_types mime type property of FileField|ImageFields but I can't find anything that indicates that validation is done on that property. IOW, this wouldn't show the user an error if they uploaded something else. If you want that, you're going to have to write an AT field validator yourself that takes the file and validates it against the mimetype_registry.
I have a Biztalk orchestration that posts to a http site. the response that comes back is of xmlDocument type, but it only contains a 0, no html/xml at all. All I want to do is set that 0 to a string or something to output it, but I cannot use any of the xmldocument functions because the xml is not well formed, and I cant use maps because there is no schema to work with. Trying to use any xml function returns an "invalid root level" error.
You can use a string variable and use Xpath to set the value from the response message in an Expression Shape.
You can use a XMLDocument Message and create it in an Assign Shape. You can assign the string variable to an element in the message.
You might look at using a Pipeline Component to wrap the response - e.g. have a look at the Flat File samples here
