Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to supress a Biztalk 2004 outbound file
(i.e. the processed file) within an Orchestration or by any other methods?

What exactly do you mean by this?

If you mean just discarding sent messages (because, for example you're just
doing a dummy send to initialize a correlation set), then one way to do it
would be to use my own null adapter [1] or Patrick Welling's NOPE adapte

Hi Tomas,

Well, i'm trying to supress an empty message that still prodcues a file. I
don't want to supress it completely, only if the message is empty.

Any thoughts?

Vishal

Not quite sure I understand what you mean here, what do you mean exactly by
"an empty message" ?

You could use a decide shape and only send the outputmessage if the size gtr
zero

To determine the message size, you will need to implement the SMTP.Utilities
from the documentation
and add the following static function.
public static int GetPartSize(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.XLANGPart part)
{
return
(int)part.GetPartProperty(typeof(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Size));
}

Within a decide shape you add a rule branch with:
SMTP.Utilities.Part.GetPartSize(ouputMessage) > 0
This rule branch would contain a Send shape, the Else branch would do
nothing
