Hi,

I'm trying to use the Mass Copy Functoid to map a message substructure to an
<any> element within the destination schema. However, when I test the
mapping, error messages are returned. Even if I reproduce the example given
in BTS2004 Documentation article "Mass Copy Functoid" and test the mapping
(within orchestration designer), it fails with errors similar to "Could not
find schema information for element 'Element1'....", "The element
'CustomerOrder' has invalid content" and "The 'Element2' element is not
declared". It's simple to reproduce the problem. My input schema looks like
this:

<Root>
<CustomerOrder>
<Element1>Hello</Element1>
<Element2>HelloAgain</Element2>
.... zero or more subsequent elements
</CustomerOrder>
</Root>

and my output schema is:

<Root>
<CustomerOrder>
<any>
</CustomerOrder>
</Root>

Within BizTalk mapper, I map the CustomerOrder node of the input schema to
the CustomerOrder node of the output schema via the Mass Copy Functoid. But 
I
can't seem to avoid errors, even if I reproduce the example mapping in Help.

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? Are there any rules or gotchas
with mapping to an <any> element which are not mentioned in the Documentatio
n?

Many thanks!

Set "Process Content" to Skip on the <Any> node. (This is covered in documen
tation).

Thanks Tatyana. I'd already set the Process Content to Skip, but upon
double-checking, realised that the Max Occurs property of the <any> element
needed to be set to Unbounded. Nice 'n easy solution... for once. Thanks
again for your help!
