Need some help in an Orchestration

Hi

I'm developing an Orcestration that recieves a basic input flatfile, this is
parsed, and a few properties retrieved from it which have been premoted.
I then take one of these promoted values an call a class that returns a
large string containing all the data i need.

(the class calls our Patient Admin System, which has an interface you call
via TCPIP, so i have built this class to enapsualte all the calling logic)

The returned string is saved in a string variable within the orcestration,
the string being
0*SUCCESS*M00*JOE*BLOGGS**18031970* **M*M*431552035^0* D123456*28
DRIVE*CLIFF-ON-SEA*LONDON**NW1 1NW*Q03**30*P*M01*1*JOE*BLOGGS********M0
2*3*
D123456*0**CYES^1829088*0**A97016985*080
31970**********************M14******

Above is a sample of part of the string returned, i need to submit this
string as a new document. Now I assume i could write this out to a
file/messagequeue and then have a new Orchestraction to do the mappping etc
(as i have to built a HL7 map therefore have to build a mulitpart message
within the Orchestration). But that seems a larger overhead, can i somehow
submit this string to a transform mapping, but i obvisouly have to put it
through a flat file parser, before that stage.

I've been baiscally picking bits of examples and using them for what i need,
and thereby learning, unfortunately i'm not completed upto speed with
Orcestration and its taken me 2 weeks just to get this far.

Help, with posible links to a sample or what steps i need to achieve this
would be really helpful

Thanks

Namshub,

In BizTalk Server 2006, you can execute a pipeline programmatically from
orchestration which easily enables this solution since you can use an XML
Receive pipeline with a flat file disassembler to help convert the FF
document to XML for outbound sending. There is a sample in the SDK for
this.

In BTS 2004, you'll have to find a more clever way to do this as you have
mentioned below or through the use of another custom component.

HTH,

Another option would be to take your class that accesses the Patient Admin
System and turn this into a solicit/response adapter.

The you can have a send port in the orchestration sending a request message
containing your promoted property and receiving the response.
You will then have pipelines processing both the send and response messages.
You can use a Flat file Disassembler in the receive pipeline and receive
the Xml message on the receive port of the orchestration.

This adapter could be reused for all other access to the Patient Admin
System.
