Help!!!! How to activate orchestration with no receive port
|
|
| FoggyBizTalk 2005-06-16, 8:48 pm |
| I have an orchestration with just two shapes
Delay shape - to schedule orchestration
Expression shape - to call a .net assembly
when I start this orchestration nothing happens, .net assembly never
gets called and no errors in event viewer. I am suspecting that
orchestration is never really invoked/activated.
I have no receive port or another orchestration from where I can start
this orchestration.
I am lost and ran out of ideas. Any suggestions/solutions?
TIA

| I don't mean to sound negative, but, I don't think BT is designed to do what
you are trying to accomplish. BT is designed to process information that is
sent to it. I don't think it can spontaneously kick off an orch. Something
has to send it some data and then BT will attempt to process it (even if the
data that was sent never gets used).
(thinking outside of the box...) I would have used a scheduled process (in
the Control Panel) to call a .net program to call that .net assembly or
maybe use .net to make a NT service with a timer control that calls a .net
assembly.
If you really want to stick with your BT solution, I would recommend putting
a receive shape that just gets a file with 1 string in it, then set up a
scheduled process in the OS to copy a dummy file into a pickup folder. I
suppose you could also set up a SP that always returns a simple value and
then you could use the SQL connecter to continuously query that SP.
I realize that my suggestions are all way off what you are doing, but its
the only thing I can think of.
