Prerequisites: The following solution should be built on a development machine with: a) Visual Studio 2005 and BizTalk 2006 installed. Note: This technique should also work with BizTalk 2004 Extract OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter.zip to the root of the C:\ The following folders should be created: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\OrcConfigPipeline C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\LoopBackAdapter C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\Files Install LoopBack Adapter ________________________ LoopBack adapter is necessary to run the orcConfigPipelinesMime orchestration. 1) To install the adapter navigate to folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\LoopBackAdapter Double click on file: LoopBackAdapter.reg This will register the adapter. 2) Using the BizTalk 2006 Administration console, navigate to: Platform Settings -> Adapters Right mouse button on the Adapters node and in the popup menu select: New -> Adapter In the Adapter Dropdown box, choose: LoopBack In the Name textbox, enter: LoopBack Then hit the ok button. Restart the appropriate BizTalk Host Instances Run the samples _______________ 1) Navigate to folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\OrcConfigPipeline Open Visual Studio Solution: OrcConfigPipeline.sln Check Deployment property page for correct Server and Configuration Database 2) Deploy In Visual Studio right mouse button on the OrcConfigPipeline BizTalk project and in the popup menu choose -> Deploy Using the BizTalk 2006 Administration console, ensure that an Application called OrchestrationConfigPipeline was created. 3) Import the Binding file and Start Application Using the BizTalk 2006 Administration console, navigate to the OrchestrationConfigPipeline application. Right mouse button on the OrchestrationConfigPipeline application and in the popup menu choose: Import -> Bindings In the Import Bindings Dialog box, navigate to folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter and then choose file: OrcConfigPipeline.xml Right mouse button on the OrchestrationConfigPipeline application and choose Start in the popup menu to start the application. 4) Test Navigate to folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\Files Copy files: SallyBrownMime.txt and OrdersXML.xml to folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\Files\Receive Navigate to Folder: C:\OrcConfigPipelineLoopBackAdapter\Files\Send Four files should be visible: FlatFile Delimited FlatFile Positional Word Document (has .xml extension) approx 50KB in size Excel Document (has .xml extension) approx 14KB in size To determine how things work, please examine the orchestrations in the BizTalk project and visit: http://objectsharp.com/blogs/matt/archive/2006/10/09/8700.aspx
