Is there a way, using BizTalk Mapper or any other method, to
auto-populate a missing node in the source XML?

For example, if <my_tag>1</my_tag> is missing, I'd like to be able to
easily insert that rather than have my AIC explode.

Trying to get around a recompile because this band-aid would be a
temporary work-around.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hello Cris

You cannot auto-populate an entire node, however youou can populate any
outbound fields in the Biztlak Mapper, by using the Scripting Functoid. Just
Map the scripting functoid to the outbound field only.
You can then use the scripting function populate the field or if it is a
constant value you want that field to hold, then click on the outbound field
name, then click on the 'Values' toolbar at the bottom of the mapper screen
and specify a "Destination constant value"

I think what you are saying is to use a Scripting Functoid straight to
the source field. We need to do that Only when the source field does
not exist.

no, he said what he meant... if you want to auto-populate a node that
doesn't get populated in your destination schema, set a functioid to point
only to the DESTINATION field.  Since AICs perform after mapping, this would
take care of some issues.

Is this not working for you?

Hi

Use an "exists"-functoid on the source-field you are not sure exists.
Connect it one value mappening-functoid for each destination-field you
want to populate. Let the second parameter for each value mappening
functoid be the value to autopopulate it with.
