Biztalk 2004 Dynamically loaded map *.btm file
|

| Question:
1. Can one load map files (*.btm) dynamically/programmatically?
2. Can one run biztalk mapper outside of Visual Studio .NET?
Scenario:
We have a medical claims billing application that we use to send claims
to insurance companies. We would like to allow our application to allow
the end users to map our data to the insurance companies data without
needing a developer to compile the map into an assembly. Preferrably
store the map files in a database and dynamically load it for the
transformation.
Thanks for any help you can render?

| You cannot run the mapper outside of visual studio, but when you validate
the map, the xslt file is generated and you can take that and store it in
your database and use the XSLT classes in .Net to run the transforms. As
far as i know, all the mapping in BizTalk is now XSLT compliant.

Not the *.btm files, but the map types from the generated assembly

Not the mapper, but you can execute the transformation
