Hello-

Does anybody know of a way to store values into some sort of a config
file rather than hardcoding them in the orchestration.

Basically we receive various files into our network and route them
through exchange using a orchestration and SMTP. I don't want to
hardcode any email addresses - I want to extract them so that I don't
have to recompile and redeploy if something changes.

Thanks-

You can add an appSettings element to the btsntsvc.exe.config file -

is a link to an blog entry I wrote outlining that option (as well as using
SSO as another option)

Thank you - that worked great. Very dangerous though.... add one wrong
character and the Biztalk service won't even start. If we decide to go
this route I'll definitely be making backups before I add anything.

Better yet, use EntLib: map your orchestartion assemblies into AppDomain in
<xlang> secton of btsntsvc.exe.config and provide EntLib configuraition file
per domain. This way you isolate different BizTalk applications and prevent
from other users to modify your appSettings.

You could also use Parties and keep the assignments in the send port.
Parties are easy to overlook, but incredibly powerful.

Dan,
Sounds like, you seem to have good experience with Parties. Could you please
share information about some use cases in which you have effectively used
Parties or point to blog entries if you have any on this topic?

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed response I was on holiday. I did write a blog
post on this yesterday (thanks for getting me writting again). The
link is here: http://www.novaenterprisesystems.com/Blog/post/Party-Time.aspx

It covers my personal favorite use of Parties and Role Party links. I
use this to avoid config files a lot.

Thanks,
-Dan
