I will be getting two XML files from external application and both the files
 will be stored in different folders. What I need to do is that I have to ta
ke these 2 XML files and generate a single XML file. So what I did was defin
ed 2 xml source schemas and
1 destination schema. Trying to map.

Questions are:

1) How will create a map with which should map 2 different input schemas wit
h one single output schema

2) Can I achieve this using orchestration process? What should I do for that
?

3) How will make my FILE adpater to listen to 2 differnet file locations in 
this case?

4) What should I do in orchestration process to bind to these different loca
tions

Thanks in advance

i think it will work in Orchestration
create 2 maps.first construct message with message1 and next with message2.

let me know if you have any problems

In an orchestration, you can define a map with two source messages and one
output message, this will let you map many to one (you can do one to many as
well).

Two listen to two different file locations, just create two different
receive locations under the same receive port.  Then in your orchestration
you will have one receive port that you will bind to this physical receive
port when you deploy.

You'll probably want to use a parallel convoy so that you receive both
documents in your orchestration before mapping and continuing ( look at
previous webcasts from Scott Woodgate that include information on convoys or
see this link for a sample:

Hi Matt

Thanks.

The XML files are getting created based on selection from UI application. Th
e UI application would place the different XML's in different folders. Now, 
how using MAP, i can map two different schemas with the destination one. Als
o the destination schema al
so is not a static. It will be changing depending on the selection from the 
UI.

How will I achieve this using orchestration process?

I tried correlation type. But i do not succeed. Can you guide me a sample th
at would help me in mapping two source schemas with one destination schema.

If I try Map, do I need to create 2 maps, 1 for each source? In that case, h
ow will I map to a single destination schema?
I tried using messaging properties also. I did not succeed.

Thanks in advance

Any inputs on this?

The mapping of two schemas to one happens in the orchestration designer
doing the following:

Drop a transform shape onto the surface.  Open the editor for the transform
shape and choose to create a new map.
Select two source schemas and one destination schema

Based on your other comments about the dynamic nature of your mapping, I'm
not sure you'll be able to do this.  I think you are going to have to come
up with some strategy using maps in send ports or or receive ports.  I'd
need to know more about the dynamic nature of the maps and what determines
which map you use.

Hi,

I never did this but however I'd like to share following snippet I found
previously on this newsgroup.  (Sorry for copying, just couldn't find it
here anymore.)  It was written by Sam VanHoutte (all credits to him for
this)  It is about dynamical loading of maps inside an orchestration.
Please let me know whether this helps/works... Thanks,

Kind regards,
Christof

Answer:

This should do the job:

1)the line below in a construction-shape
transform(TargetMessage)=Namespace.MapName(GenericMessage)

2)the line below in a construction-shape
mapType=System.Type.GetType("Namespace.MapName,Assembly, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ed7e8ddd68bfa1cf");
 transform(TargetMessage)=mapType(Generic
Message);

Where
- TargetMessage is the message to be constructed
- Namespace.MapName is the Full qualified name of the map
- GenericMessage is the input message
- mapType is a variable of type System.Type
