Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004: Creating a Schema Map - Exercise 3: Validating and Testing the Map

(Page 4 of 4 )

Scenario

In this exercise, you will use the Validate Map command to determine whether the map contains any internal inconsistencies, or has other issues that might prevent it from being used effectively for mapping schemas.

 

Tasks	Detailed steps
Validate the map. This makes sure that the map could produce a valid destination document. An example of an invalid map would be one in which a required field in the destination document is not filled.	In Solution Explorer, right-click NWCustomerOrder_To_FKSupplierPO.btm, and then select Validate Map. The results of the map validation are displayed in the Output window.
Test the map. Testing a map provides a way to catch exceptions or logical errors by using an actual instance document, without deploying an entire solution.	Right-click NWCustomerOrder_To_FKSupplierPO.btm, click Properties, and then configure the following properties: Property Value TestMap Input Instance   C:\Labs\Work\CustomerOrder.xml TestMap Input XML Click OK to save the map. Right-click NWCustomerOrder_To_FKSupplierPO.btm, and then select Test Map. A link to the XML instance is shown in the Output window. Click the link while pressing Ctrl to open the resulting XML file.

Exercise 4
Building the Schema Map Project

Scenario

In this exercise, you will build the project to generate an assembly that contains the resources (the schemas and the map) that you have created. This also ensures that that there are no compile-time errors in the work you have completed so far.

Tasks	Detailed steps
Build the project. The assembly is compiled into a DLL file and saved in the …\bin\Development folder within the project folder.	On the File menu, click Save All. In Solution Explorer, right-click NWMessaging, and then select Build. The results of the compiled project are displayed in the Output window. Close Visual Studio.
