Generating the XML Schema. Generate DTDs, XML schemas, and BizTalk. The XML Schema utility then writes the definitions to the file directory as specified.

Despite over the year’s new protocols, formats or patterns emerged like Web Services, WCF RESTful services, XML, JSON, among others. The use of text files (Flat Files ) as CSV (Comma Separated Values) or TXT, one of the oldest common patterns for exchanging messages, still remains today one of the most used standards in systems integration and/or communication with business partners. While tools like Excel can help us interpret such files, this type of process is always iterative and requires few user tips so that software can determine where there is a need to separate the fields/columns as well the data type of each field. But for a system integration (Enterprise Application Integration) like BizTalk Server, you must reduce any ambiguity, so that these kinds of operations can be performed thousands of times with confidence and without having recourse to a manual operator. In this session we will first address: How we can easily implement a robust File Transfer integration in BizTalk Server (using Content-Based Routing in BizTalk with retries, backup channel and so on). And second: How to process Flat Files documents (TXT, CSV ) in BizTalk Server.

Addressing what types of flat files are supported? How is the process of transforming text files (also called Flat Files) into XML documents (Syntax Transformations) – where does it happen and which components are needed.

How can I perform a flat file validation?

Hi Nitin, The steps are straight forward. What happens when you follow these, also like Johns said it is always better to ask the sender to provide you an schema instead of generating with a sample instance, the xml payload may not be accurate and many optional elements might be missing and later they can be a real pain if they are base lined for BizTalk side of schema definition. Right click your BizTalk project 2.

Add -> Add Generated Items 3. Select 'Generate Schemas' 4. New dialog opens. You need to select what kind of input document you will provide (default is dtd). You will want you use 'Well formed XML', but this is not enabled by default BizTalk installation. To enable this go to you BizTalk installation folder (e.g C: Program Files Microsoft BizTalk 2004) and go to SDK Utilities Schema Generator.

You need to execute VB script called InstallWFX.vbs. After this you can use well-formed xml's. Select your input file and click OK. Regards Pushpendra Singh: Please mark the reply as answer or vote it up, as deemed fit. It sounds like a complex document structure which means creating a schema on a sample will probably be dead wrong. Besides missing optional elements you would also have to check most data types (a value 1 in your sample for example, is it string, bool, int.?).

Question is, do you really need a schema for your application, using it for validation or a mapping perhaps? If the answer is no, you might consider skipping the schema part using a passthrough pipeline or if you plan do use code to deal with the message anyway you could do this immediately in a custom pipeline, also skipping orchestratrion.
