Prerequisites: The following solution should be built on a development machine with: a) Visual Studio 2005 and BizTalk 2006 installed. Extract Immutable_To_Mutable.zip to the root of the C:\ drive The following folders should be created: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\BTS_Immutable_To_Mutable C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\Class_Immutable_To_Mutable C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\Files Install and run the sample __________________________ 1) Navigate to folder: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable Open Visual Studio Solution: Immutable_To_Mutable.sln For the BTS_Immutable_To_Mutable BizTalk project, check Deployment property page for correct Server and Configuration Database (Right mouse button on the BTS_Immutable_To_Mutable project in Visual Studio and choose Properties in the pop up menu. In the dialog choose -> Configuration Properties -> Deployment) 2) Deploy In Visual Studio right mouse button on Solution 'Immutable_To_Mutable' and in the popup menu choose -> Deploy This will build both projects in the solution,deploy the BTS_Immutable_To_Mutable BizTalk project and GAC the C# class project -> Class_Immutable_To_Mutable. Using the BizTalk 2006 Administration console, ensure that an Application called Immutable_To_Mutable was created. 3) Import the Binding file and Start Application Using the BizTalk 2006 Administration console, navigate to the Immutable_To_Mutable application. Right mouse button on the Immutable_To_Mutable application and in the popup menu choose: Import -> Bindings In the Import Bindings Dialog box, navigate to folder: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable and then choose file: Bindings.xml Right mouse button on the Immutable_To_Mutable application and choose Start in the popup menu to start the application. 4) Test Navigate to folder: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\Files Copy file: PO.xml To folder: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\Files\ReceivePO Navigate to Folder: C:\Immutable_To_Mutable\Files\Send The resultant Invoice xml file should be dropped to the above folder To determine how things work, please examine the two Visual Studio projects and visit: http://objectsharp.com/cs/blogs/matt/archive/2007/04/02/turning-an-immutable-message-in-biztalk-into-a-mutable-message.aspx
