I have a simple system in place using BizTalk where I can receive AS2 X12 810 messages through BizTalk . BizTalk accepts those messages, translates it to an XML format, and sends it over to a web service. I have a requirement that every message received should have 1 or more PDF files that are associated with it.
How can I make this happen?
Questions:
- Can I simply receive PDF files through BizTalk?
- How can I receive PDF files through BizTalk?
- What would be a good implementation for accepting an 810 invoice + attachments?
Thank you a million for any help. Getting help with BizTalk is incredibly difficult, so I really appreciate all time spent reading/discussing/time put forth to help.
To receive binary files of any type in Biztalk set the message type within the orchestration to System.Xml.XmlDocument.
Don't use any kind of dissassembler on the message as it comes in. A PassThru pipeline will work fine.
Biztalk will effectively ignore the contents of the message in this case and you can route it as normal.
