Hi Samyu!
Have good news for you :-)  Please do following:

- construct a dynamic send port
- connect your send shape to it
- before sending a message to it, drop an expression shape
- enter following to achieve your goals: (just a sample, you'll need to
adjust)

//configure your dynamic FTP port:
orchprtSndMyMessagePort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address) =
ftp://myserver/mydirectory/myfilename.xml;

//set context on the message you want to send:
msgMyMessage(FTP.UserName) = "myFTPUsername";
msgMyMessage(FTP.Password) = "myFTPPassword";
msgMyMessage(BTS.RetryCount) = 20;
msgMyMessage(BTS.RetryInterval) = 2;


So far the dynamic use of the FTP adapter.  There's no way you can grasp the
return value of the FTP operation.  That kind of things is completely hidden
by the adapter itself.  HOWEVER: to achieve your final goal (being: just
knowing whether it succeeded): there's a switch on the level of your
orchestration's send port, called: "DeliveryNotification".  Set this to
"Transmitted".  This will ensure that your orchestration stops working,
until the adapter has succesfully transmitted the message.  If the message
fails, an exception will be thrown "XLang.DeliveryFailureException" (Not
sure... just a guess.).  You can catch this one if you like.

Kind regards,
Christof

Thanks a lot for your guidance
I will try out a sample, can you please correct if I end up with any issues.

Hi christof

I tried your sample

How will I give the following

//set context on the message you want to send:
msgMyMessage(FTP.UserName) = "myFTPUsername";
msgMyMessage(FTP.Password) = "myFTPPassword";
msgMyMessage(BTS.RetryCount) = 20;
msgMyMessage(BTS.RetryInterval) = 2;

I understand that msgMyMessage is a message whose message operation type pro
perty is set to a
valid schema. But assuming msgMyMessage do not have these details (FTP usern
ame, etc.,),
as I need to fetch the same from DB, how will I assign to message variables 
and use it?

I am not very clear about this. Please explain.

I will be getting a flat file schema to this send port which may not have ho
ld any ftp details.
Also, while configuring a direct binding in send port, whcih option should I
 select such as
Correlation, directiong to other orchestration etc.,?

Thanks in advance

Enter this in the construct message shape for your outbound message.
The FTP.UserName etc are part of the FTP adapter's context.  This kind of
context can be set regardless of the type of message you send.  Just try it,
then come back to me :-)

The strings "myFTPUsername" and "myFTPPassword" for example can be variables
as well.  (Just call a .NET component wich fetches those from a database.)

Kind regards,
Christof

I'm sorry... must have missed something.  Where did you need direct binding
for please?
Aren't you going to use the dynamic port type?

Direct binding enables to do publish subscribe between orchestrations.  Is
this what you need?

Kind regards,
Christof

Sorry if I am not clear..after successfully BTS creating the flat file, it h
as to be ftp'd using FTP Adapter
This adpter would get the necessary details (Username, ftppath, ftpserver, i
p, password etc.,) from a DB.
Once it is received it would ftp the files to that location and not to any o
rchestration.

Thanks
Samyu

Please Samyu...

Reread my posting on how to set the password, username, ftp location at
*runtime*.
I think you didn't understand me.  By no means you need to use direct
binding.

Kind regards,
Christof

I tried the fiollowing to send an XML file to a FTP location

1) Created the follwing schema

<Vendors><alcoholicVendor name="Alcoholic"><Attribute type="Drink" value="10
"></alcoholicVendor></Vendors>

2) Created a Receive Port as Static One-way port and created a receive locat
ion as below:
Set its Transport Type as FILE and Address URI as a folder location and Rece
ive Pipeline as
Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines.PassThruReceive (Microsoft.BizTalk.Defaul
tPipelines.PassThruReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines, Version=3.0.
1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)

3) Created a Send Port and set its Transport Type as FTP and gave the FTP lo
cation at its Address URI
Gave Send Pipeline as Microsoft.BizTalk.KwTpm.StsDefaultPipelines.StsSendPip
eline (Microsoft.BizTalk.KwTpm.StsDefaultPipelines.StsSendPipeline, Microsof
t.BizTalk.KwTpm.StsDefaultPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, Publi
cKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)


Rebuild the project
Deployed the project

I placed a sample XML in the receive folder.

It is not getting picked up by the BizTalk process. I am getting error in th
e Eventviewer as some or parts of the message could not be taken etc.,

Thanks

I am getting the following error:

There was a failure executing the receive pipeline: "Microsoft.BizTalk.Defau
ltPipelines.XMLReceive" Source: "XML disassembler" Receive Location: "D:\RP 
1.1\Working samples\FTPTest\Input\*.xml" Reason: The disassembler cannot ret
rieve the document specific
ation by using this type: "Vendors". Either the schema is not deployed corre
ctly, or more than one schema is deployed for the same message type.
