    How Do I Combine Messages In A Transformation Map?

I have an orchestration that first receives data from a stored procedure (Me
ssage1). I then take that data, transform it (Message2) & insert it into ano
ther database via a stored procedure. The stored procedure inserts the data 
from Message2 & returns a n
ew message (Message3) which contains an element called "IDNO" that is return
ed as a result of the stored procedure. I then want to take the "IDNO" value
 from Message3 and combine it with Message1 (since there are still many elem
ents contained in Message1
that I still need to insert into other database tables) and do a transform t
o create Message4 that inserts into my second database table.
My problem is that when I open the transform configuration wizard, I select 
Message1 for my first source transform, click the "Click here to add a new r
ow!" display message & add Message3 as my second source transform (which is 
my "IDNO" message returned
from my previous stored procedure).  I then add Message4 as my destination t
ransform.  When I hit OK, Biztalk launches my new transformation map.  My so
urce schema shows 2 message parts...InputMessagePart_0 and InputMessagePart_
0.  InputMessagePart_0 cont
ains all the expected data elements from my original Message1 but ImputMessa
gePart_1 just contains the element "ns1:" and does not contain the expected 
data from Message3.  Now, if I delete the transformation map & go back throu
gh the whole transform conf
iguration wizard process & add Message3 first & then Message1 for my source 
transform, when Biztalk opens the new tranformation map, Message3 will now s
how up as InputMessagePart_0 with all the expected data elements and InputMe
ssagePart_1 still just has
the "ns1:" element w/o the expected data from Message1. Why does InputMessag
ePart_1 never contain the data from the second transform source that I speci
fied when using the Transform Configuration Wizard? Any help is greatly appr
eciated!!

First off...sorry for 3 posts of the same question...I kept getting an error
 message when I posted my question, so I tried posting multiple times & low 
and behold, my question got posted even when I was getting the error message
. 

I noticed a typo in my question. When I said "My source schema shows 2 messa
ge parts...InputMessagePart_0 and InputMessagePart_0", I meant to say "My so
urce schema shows 2 message parts...InputMessagePart_0 and InputMessagePart_
1". I just wanted to clarif
y that.

Hi.

How much is in the message3 that you need? You could use
expression-shapes to put the data from message3 into message1.

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your reply.  There is very little information in Message3...he
re is what the message looks like:

<RespRoot>
<Test2>
<IDNO>123</IDNO>
</Test2>
</RespRoot>

Message1 (abbreviated for display) looks something like this:

<InSQLRoot>
<PlansToExport>
<FirstInsertField1>John</FirstInsertField1>
<FirstInsertField2>Doe</FirstInsertField2>
<FirstInsertField3>Sr.</FirstInsertField3>
<SecondInsertField1>123 Main St.</SecondInsertField1>
<SecondInsertField2>Anywhere</SecondInsertField2>
<SecondInsertField3>NY</SecondInsertField3>
<PlansToExport>
<InSQLRoot>

So, when I do my second database insertion, I need to use IDNO from Message3
 and also the "SecondInsertFields" from Message1 so that the when I do my se
cond insertion of data into the database, the different tables that I insert
ed to will be related on th
e value of "IDNO".

I am a Biztalk novice and haven't used expression shapes yet...do you have a
ny suggestions or know where I might find an example on how to do this? Woul
d I need to something like add a blank "IDNO" element to Message1, set it as
 a promoted property, then
set IDNO in Message3 as a promoted property, & then use an expression shape 
to do something like:

Message1.InSQLRoot.PlansToExport.IDNO = Message3.RespRoot.Test2.IDNO;

Thanks again for your help!

Hi.

I'd map message1 into message4 and then use an expression-shape to add
the value from message3 nto message4.
