BizTalk 2004: Tranforming data
|
|
| Shikari Shambu 2004-09-22, 9:56 pm |
| Hi,
I have a BizTalk orchestration that takes input from an external
application (EA1) transforms it and presents it to another external
application(EA2) (integration thru' web service). The output from the
webservice is received by BizTalk and I would like to transform it. However,
I can't find a way to transform it. Biztalk does not show an option for
transformation.
Any ideas how I can transform the response ?
TIA

I assume you are using BizTalk 2004.
In Biztalk, there are two kind of transformations: pipelines and maps.
Maps takes XML documents and transform to another xml document.
Pipelines take any kind of data (flat file or XML) and can tranfsorm them to any kind of data.
However, using pipelines might require you to write custom code for the transformation.
In your case, it seems that you are sending XML to EA2. If what you get from EA1 is XML, then use a map.
Maps are added to a BizTalk project by right-click on the project name and selecting "add new item" and "map".
(For your information, If it is a flat file, then you want to have a receive pipeline for EA1 with a
disassembler component and perhaps one map to properly format the disassembled XML document.)
Thanks,
-Gilles.
