========
Summary:
========

I am using
BizTalk Server 2004 Adapter for MSMQ v2.0 (Adapter for MSMQ)

I have a Biztalk receive port called ReceivePortMsmq (the underlying MSMQ
port is .\PRIVATE$\BIZTALKRECEIVEPORT1)
I have a Biztalk send port called SendPort1. SendPort1 is configured for
MSMQ (but that doesn't really matter for this problem because I'm having
problems with the Content Based Routing).

I want to set up a filter on SendPort1 so that if an MSMQ message
has a label of TriggerLabel, then the message is sent to SendPort1.

Unfortunately, the filter does not work on the Label field of MSMQ
and a routing failure occurs for the message.

========
Details:
========

The intended sequence is:
() Send MSMQ message to ReceivePortMsmq
() BizTalk reads message
() Check Filter on SendPort1. Since it matches, place the message
in the MSMQ associated with SendPort1

If I set up Content Based Routing under SendPort1 this way:
Edit..., Filters & Maps, Filters

MSMQ.Label == TriggerLabel

Note: MSMQ.Label appears in the drop-down because the Assemblies folder
contains Microsoft.BizTalk.Adapter.MSMQ.MsmqAdapterProperties.dll

When I send the message to ReceivePortMsmq, I get a Routing Failure.

I run the Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) tool,
Operations, Messages
I get 2 messages

If I look at the Message Details for Message 1, I see:
Message ID: 2204d6ba-c83c-446c-95a3-d639dc138c0e
Content
ReceivePortName=ReceivePortMsmq, IsPromoted=True
Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/msmq-properties
Label=TriggerLabel, IsPromoted=False
Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/msmq-properties

If I look at the Message Details for Message 2, I see:
Message ID: 897dfca2-7015-4551-8d4f-d53cb11eb1b2
Label=TriggerLabel, IsPromoted=False
Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/msmq-properties
note: the property ReceivePortMsmq is not present

%%%%%%%%%%

It appears that the MSMQ.Label is not getting promoted.

If you look in the Adapter for MSMQ Help
(Start, Programs, Microsoft BizTalk 2004 Adapter for MSMQ 2.0, Documentation
)
in the aricle:
BizTalk 2004 Adapter for MSMQ Properties
there is this excerpt:
--------
Message Labels
You can use the Message Queuing Label property in filters by adding a
reference to MSMQAdapterProperties.dll and selecting the property in the
Filter dialog box. You can also use the property in other contexts because
the adapter for MSMQ automatically adds it to the message context.
--------

So the excerpt implies to me that no promotion is needed, even though the
Context for the Messages in the Health and Activity Tracking tool
states that Label is not promoted.

What steps are needed for Content Based Routing to work with
the Microsoft Biztalk 2004 Adapter for MSMQ 2.0?

I know my MSMQ installation works because if I do this on
the Send Port:
Edit..., Filters & Maps, Filters
BTS.ReceivePortName == ReceivePortMsmq

then when I send a message to ReceivePortMsmq, BizTalk reads the message
and places the message in the SendPort1 MSMQ queue.

MSMQ.Label property exists in the context, but it is not promoted it
BizTalk 2004. It is goign to be fixed in BizTalk 2006, but in BTS 2004 you
may have to include a custom pipeline component that would promote this
property.
