EDI-hell

[Puil]

I'm having problems with Biztalk 2006R2 and EDI-processing.

I started out with some experiments:
First I simply wanted to pick up a EDI EANCOM D96a INVOIC-message, and
simply run it through a small orchestration which only picked it up, and
moved it to another folder. But that didn't work: My sample message had a
UNB-segment (interchange Header), and this was not defined in the
EFACT_D96A_INVOIC.xsd-schema.

After some searching on the web, I found out that I should use the
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive-pipeline. This should
process the UNB-segment and leave me with something like described in my
schema.
Now I have another problem : my file gets picked up, but then I get
following errors :

"An output message of the component "Unknown " in receive pipeline
"Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive,
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" is suspended due to the following error:
Unknown ." (The "Unknown" makes it a challenge...)

and in the event viewer :

"Error encountered during parsing. The Edifact transaction set with id ''
contained in interchange (without group) with id '00134322', with sender id
'8710934000008', receiver id '8714253037004' is being suspended with
following errors:

Error: 1 (Miscellaneous error)
502: Document spec type

Error: 2 (Miscellaneous error)
70: Missing or invalid Transaction set identifier

Error: 3 (Miscellaneous error)
71: Transaction Set or Group Control Number Mismatch

Error: 4 (Miscellaneous error)
29: Invalid count specified at interchange, group or message level
"

followed by

"A message received by adapter "FILE" on receive location "BizTalk Server
Project1_1.0.0.0_BizTalk_Server_Project1.ConwayOrchestration_Port_1_cb13592113f06f3d_ReceiveLocation"
with URI "D:\Projects\Conway\DropFolder\*.*" is suspended.
Error details: An output message of the component "Unknown " in receive
pipeline "Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive,
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" is suspended due to the following error:
Unknown ."

Again the "unknown" which makes my day complete.

Is there anybody who can point me into the right direction ?

Why would I buy something if in theory Biztalk could do it ?

Hi Puil,

when starting to play with EDI in BizTalk R2 the first thing to do is to
check out the definition of EDI parties.

You should define a party and set the EDI properties on that party. (right
click the party)
When you receive EDI documents you have to fill in the details for the
Sender (the one who is sending you EDI documents).

Once that is done, try again.

Could you include the EDI message, maybe something is not correct in the UNB
segment?

Puil,

I chaged the root node in the edi schema to match the requested namespace.
Changed EFACT_D96A_INVOIC to EFACT_D96A_INVOIC_EAN008.

If you still have the problem after that, try to add the assembly from the
administration console into your application. And always remeber to restart
your host instance.

This worked well for me.
