EDI Batching using Biztalk Server 2010

This document describes how to batch multiple EDI document into single interchange EDI.

EDI Batching in Biztalk is done using Batching orchestration(Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BatchingOrchestration.BatchingService) that is shipped with Biztalk. This batching orchestration is directly binded with MessageBox and picks up message with EDI.ToBeBatched=True. This flag is set when the message is received using edi receive pipeline. There is a component called "BatchMarker" in the receive pipeline that promotes and sets "EDI.ToBeBatched=True".

 Example of Interchange with multiple EDI 840 Transaction.

1: Create Receive Pipeline “EDIBatchMarkPipeline” which will mark edi document for EDI Batch.

•  Create receive pipeline
• Add EDI Disassembler, add Batch Marker component.

2: Create receive port “EDIBatchMarkPortFor840”and receive location with EDIBatchMarkPipeline.

Example of EDI 840 with single transaction for batching.

3: Create Batch configuration for batching.

4: Create two parties: ThemPartyFor840, UsPartyFor840

5: Create agreement for two parties name Agreement1.

6: Create identifier settings.

7: Create batch configuration for UsPartyFor840à ThemPartyFor840

 

Filter Expression

BTS.ReceivePortName = EDIBatchMarkPortFor840

BTS.MessageType= http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/X12/2006#X12_00401_840

8: Click on start batch, after click on start batch, Orchestration (Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.BatchingOrchestration.BatchingService) Instance is created in admin console.

When you click on start button in batch configuration, an entry has been created in PAM_Control table

NOTE : BatchingService orchestration monitor PAM_Control table using sql adapter, as entry comes into table , instance of orchestration start to pick EDI  message whose EDI.tobeBatched context property is true.

9: Create Send port with Filter Expression:

EDI.ToBeBatched == False And
EDI.BatchName == Batch1

10: Start Receiveport , sendport and batch,

11: drop multiple EDI 840 to receive location, check output location.
