Hi All,
does biztalk cache schemas some where?

I  changed one of the scheema in my project but it some how keeps using
old schema .

I have tried following
1)stopped all services ,even restarted the biztalk server machine.
2)completely undeployed and redeployed the biztalk project.
3)incremented the version of project and schema.

Still when i step through the orchestration the value of the newly
added attribute is null.
I could see that in promoted properties.

Also this orchestration and schema are published as web service in my
project.
When i add a reference of this schema in my client project,proxy class
has the new attribute i have added.

I am sure ,i am assigning value to this attribute in the client.Also
this attribute has a default value of it's own .
so there is no reason for it to be blank unless biztalk some how is
using old schema?
appreciate if some one could tell why this might be happening.
Thanks
siddharth

Hi,

I have had problems like this in the past.
First, look in your GAC and right click on the assembly name that you are
trying to change. Make sure that this is point to the assembly you are
expecting!
Search on you box, make sure that there are not multiple assemblies present
on your local PC.
A simple way to make a change to a schema and then deploy it, in a dev
environment, is to do the following
1.	Compile the project.
2.	Browse to the newly compiled assembly (note the date and time is
reflecting the newly compiled output)
3.	Open a separate folder window and browse to your GAC
4.	Drag and drop the assembly into your GAC..
5.	Reboot the BizTalk Server process.
Once you have done this, you should be picking up the correct version.

Yes Biztalk is well known for doing this. You need to run an application
called "BTM Refresh" which will refresh all maps, ports, channels, schemas.
This application is buried somewhere in the Program Files\Microsoft Biztalk
Server directory (I don't know offhand, if you can't find it, send me an
email and I'll send you a copy when I get to work)

Hi,
i did not find where BTS Refresh is located.
I am working on biztalk 2004.


Also i see a strange thing... some of the newly added properties are
not populated ...meaning they are null even though element has a
default value...but apart from this for some of the properties it adds
another property with a post fix of 'Specefied' in the name of the
property name.

so lets say original name of the property was 'MyOwnElement'

now i expose this orchestration as webservice....

what i see in the client proxy is two properties ....one  MyOwnElement
and a second one 'MyOwnElementSpecefied'and i have to set
MyOwnElementSpecefied=true
..only after that i see the value of MyOwnElement element in my
message.

any ideas ?
