Custom key/value configuration information?
|
|
| Andrew 2004-11-09, 5:49 pm |
| Does BizTalk have a built-in way to retrieve custom configuration
information within an orchestration? For example, when exceptions occur I
want to send an email to the administrator. I don't want to hard-code the
email address within the Orchestration, I want to get it from a
configuration file. I can do this any number of ways but wanted to know if
BizTalk 2004 had a built-in way to support this much like a .NET app can
read a web.config or app.config file.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

| Andrew,
You can store the configuration information within BTSNTSvc.exe.config, but
you will have to create a component and call it from within an expression to
read the configuration data.

You can store this information in

| You could use the Business Rules Composer to define a new rule that sets a
value in the message to the correct email address (using the expression 1=1
as the conditional statement, so that it always fires.)
That way you can update the email address by adding a new version and
deploying it, without having to stop / start the orchestration.
I've used this before and it works very well. It's also a good way to get
non-technical people involved in the admin.
I can send more details if you wish,

| There's no automated way to do this specific to an orchestration. As is
mentioned in this thread you can use rules, or a .net component, or you
could pass the e-mail address in as part of your data.
BRE would probably be the easiest way.
