Problem
---------------

I have two receiving ports which has to corelate with each other.
Both are polling into one shared folder into share point. My requirement is
such that if i have got one file in the first port, i have to correlate with
that other port such that it should take one specific file.

If I have got "xyz2004.xml" on port 1 , then I should get
"xyz2003.xml" on the next port 2. pls notice, the  year has changed to 2003
(ie previous year file).

Is there any way so that I can correlate this ??




thanks yar

Hello.

It sounds like you have a Convoy scenario.  i.e. multiple receives in a
races condition.  If this is the case I do not think it is possible to
correlate on the items you want to do without some additional effort.

You might want to check out Charles’ blog on flexible correlation:
http://geekswithblogs.net/cyoung/articles/17364.aspx

That might give you some ideas that are more straight forward then what I am
thinking…

I would look at using a pre processing Orchestration on the received files
that will assign them some unique token id based on the type of correlation
it should belong to.

Example – Orchestration 1 would set a property on the message like:
abc2004.xml belongs to Token: 123
abc2003.xml belongs to Token: 123
bcd2004.xml belongs to Token: 124
bcd2003.xml belongs to Token: 124

You could make the logic as complex or simple as needed in a .net component.
Just pass in the received file name.  You might have to have some table to
store past values and Tokens.  Then, set up a Convoy to take in messages
based on the Token.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stephen,

  Thanks for your reply. 

  Currently I am working on the Convoy scenario.

  I am using  biztalk share point adapter for taking the file from sharepoin
t.

    After comparison with the file which I got through the second port I hav
e to place back the file into sharepoint itself, So I have put a send shape 
after the second receive. 

   Now what is happening after comparision with the second file, while sendi
ng back the second file to sharepoint, that section is  not working. 

   currently the file is beging deleted. and the Orchestration goes hang.
 
   I am attaching the Orchestration file with this.. pls change the extentio
n to ".odx"

once again thanks for your reply.

Hello.

I did not see anything that stood out as being wrong.

What is the exact error message you are getting when the Orchestration hangs
?

Also, if you want to send me the full solution with schema and sample file I
can take a better look at it.  Just send it to
swthomas@NOSPAMbiztalkgurus.com.

Hi Stephen, 

  I have send the full solution file to your swthomas@NOSPAMbiztalkgurus.com
 mail address. Sill I am getting

Hi Stephen,
I have send the solution file again.
I am able assign the correlation set values. But still I am not getting
the expected result.
Expecting a positive responce from you..

once again thanks for your help
