Author The Number of recrod that Biztalk can process

Hi Everyone,
I have a few files that is been process thru Biztalk
server that was around 4 thousand records in each file and
my Biztalk 2000 server did not process it. Can anyone tell
me is there a place to set the number of record to process
in Biztalk or is this a limitation with Biztalk?
Regards,
Nelson Terk

Biztalk has a 4mb limit on the size of the XML files. Since these files are
in Unicode, that amounts to 2MB of text, in XML format. Note that your XML
documents are usually 20-40% larger than your raw text documents (except
EDI, where the XML can be easily three to four times the size of the EDI
document).

Therefore, 4000 records may end up being your upper limit.

Are you using Biztalk to process EDI?

no, I'm wrong... (I need more sleep). I quoted the MSMQ limit.

Biztalk limits to 20MB in Unicode XML. Depending on input type, you should
be able to squeeze in an input file of 5-7MB in ASCII.

My bad. My apologies.

Hi Nelson,

Try this: change your port settings to write the output to a file share, and
turn off the envelope. You should get an XML file. Submit a small file to
make sure it works. Then, submit a couple of files that get close to your
limit. Take a look at the size of the output XML file. This will give you
an idea if you are running into the limit or not.

I misquoted earlier (thanks to Jan for catching me). The size limit is 20MB
in Unicode XML. That would equal 10MB in ASCII XML. Depending on the
amount of expansion you are getting when Biztalk serializes your data into
XML, you should be able to get a 2-3 Meg file through Biztalk without
difficulty. (It might take some time, depending on what you are doing, but
it should work).

You never did tell me if the input file is EDI... is it? That makes a
difference, because EDI is a very efficient format, that when converted to
XML, get's big.

Also, keep in mind that XLang uses MSMQ and you therefore have the 4 MB
limit if you are using an XLang scheldule.
