Hi,

Can anybody let me know how to call an Biztalk Orchestration from another
application?

So far I tried through Web service but can my application directly call my
orchestration?

TIA.

Yes - if you expose the orchestration as a web service. See "Publishing Web
Services" in the documentation for details of how to do this.

Look at the SumitDirect SDK sample. Shows how can programatically call an
Orchestration from .Net code:

Hi Hugo,

Yeah, I tried that but it didn't solve my purpose. I wanted an applicaion
(apart from web service) to call my orchestration. Anyway thanks as the
requirement is changed now.

But Now I want my orchestration to call another application. In the sense,
I'm having a class and my orchestration should be able to call that class
(without consuming a web service).
How can I do that?

TIA,
Lotus

You can create variables in your orchestration that are .Net classes.  In
expression shapes in the orchestration, you can use these classes like you
would from a C# application.  There are some limitations related to
orchestration persistence such as your class must be serializable or be
consumed in an atomic scope; you might need synchronized scopes if you are
working with your variable on different parallel branches; but for hte most
part it is straight forward.  Add a reference to your .net assembly, declare
a variable of the right type, in an expression shape, create a new instance
of your variable and start using it.
