Yet another

When compiling an orchestration I get an error saying .

Error 1 illegal use of identifier '' in an expression wher the '' have some value. 

This is actually me setting an initial value for a a string variable. You need to put the initial value in "initialValue" quotemarks



I had forgotten this, so i spent some time rememering/trying different stuff and document it here so you dont have to,

Illegal 'activate' predecate

I am creating a orch that has filter on the initial receive shape. When building I got these error: Error 1 : identifier 'MySolutionname' does not exist in 'MyOrchName'; are you missing an assembly reference? Error 2: cannot find symbol 'MySolutionname' Error 3: an 'activate' predicate rvalue must be a string, character, boolean or numeric literal Error 4 : illegal 'activate' predicate The solution to this is to put the filter expression in sting literals (i.e. “double quotes”)

BizTalk Host "Stop Pending"

When restarting a BizTalk host I experiences that it would not restart. The service was stuck in a "Stop Pending" state. It seem that the only way to get the host back up, is to terminate the process and the start it. When i tried to restart fro BizTalk Administration Console nothing happen. I had to user the End Task function in Task Manager To get the correct instance i needed to find the correct instance. The only way to be sure to get the right one is to find the Process ID (PID) This might be found by using the command prompt using tasklist /SVC /fi "imagename eq btsntsvc.exe" This will list all BizTalk hosts like this Image Name              PID  Services ============= ================================ BTSNTSvc.exe            2376 BTSSvc$Rcv_x32_1_FTP_H BTSNTSvc.exe            2396 BTSSv...

Using the BAM API to write BAM events from orchestrations

One of the easiest ways to update a bam activity from an orchestration is to use the BAM API, Simply add reference to Microsoft.BizTalk.Bam.EventObservartion Microsoft.BizTalk.Bam.XLANGs to your project and you are ready to start. In the basic level you have to start, update and end an activity. Start Activity I reccomend creating variables for activity name and instanceID, To avoid any confutions. The Activity name must match the Activity name created and deployed using bm.exe. (I will create a seperate post for this) The code in start-bam-expression-shape in orchestration PreProcessInvoice will then look something like this: activityName = ("ProcessInvoice"); //this is the activity we are loading data into activityInstance = System.Convert.ToString(System.Guid.NewGuid())+"PreProcessInvoice" ; //if bamming to same activity from different orchestration, we may track where the data is comming from by adding orchestration name. Microsoft.BizTalk.Bam...
