Looking for input on how to use Dynamic Port Binding to supply part of the
output path and filename from properties within the message (say a Customer'
s
ID number for example)

Example of output path for customer # 123456 might be:

 C:\BizTalk\Output\Customers\123456\data_
123456.xml  - where 123456 in the
path and filename came from the "CustomerID" promoted property in the messag
e.

Thanks for the feedback and help.

Mark

Thank you for the reply.  That get's me started... but I still need some
information on how to dynamically send the filename and path (to either the
FILE or FTP adapters)

Just change the context on the message you are sending, just as explained in
the blog.
Changing a message's context can be done in either your orchestration or in
the pipeline.

If you want to change the path for the outbound file message, use a dynamic
port.  The concrete destination of that port can be set using an expression
shape as well...

Hope that helps.

Best regards!
Christof

This gets me pointed in the right direction, but I still do not see any
information on how to build a dynamic path, filename or FTP address. That
was part of my original question (see below).

Your example for the ftp stuff is hard coded...
"ftp://myserver/mydirectory/myfilename.xml"  I need to know how to specify
values (based on somthing like a promoted property for example) for the path
and filename.  From your example it might be something like this:

"ftp://serverNameOrIP/customers/" + customerID + "/" + sourceFileName

The thing is I do not kow how to get a value from the message (such as
customerID) and how to get the original source's filename as you would using
%SourceFileName%

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
the original name is in the message's context - FILE.ReceivedFileName
to access your information you have to promote it using a property schema,
then you will be able to access it and embed it in your filename.
