Files arrive as pairs - a header and a detail

Header contains OrderId, Name, Address, ...
Detail contains OrderId, LineId, StockNumber, Quantity, ...

What would be the recommended Biztalk way to bring these in? Would it
be to map each individually to XML and then merge the header XML and
Detail XML to form an Order XML?

Thanks

Hello,

You will need to combine these using an orchestration. Assuming you can't be
certain that they will always arrive in order, you will have to use a
parallel convoy in the orchestration. Search around on google; some of the
regular BizTalk bloggers have examples of parallel convoy orchestrations on
their sites. Good Luck!

You can also watch the MSDN.TV show " Advanced Orchestration Concepts in
BizTalk Server 2004 - Convoy Processing" at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdntv/ep...EL/manifest.xml ,
for a good walkthrough of convoys.

Stephen Thomas has a sample parallel convoy -
