BizTalk Server 2006 Documenter

New Post: Custom Descriptions

jwessling — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:15:49 GMT

The documentation mentions the ability to add (or update with) custom descriptions, but the steps to do this are pretty vague. How can this be done? I'd like to included output from the BizTalkMapDocumenter in my BizTalkConfiguration .chm, I just need to know how. Thanks!

New Post: Cast error when using Word as output provider

azamqadri — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:55:43 GMT

Hi,

Even I am facing the same problem with output as Word. I am getting the same error "Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Services.Tools.BizTalkOM.NameIdPair' to type 'Microsoft.Services.Tools.BizTalkOM.SendPort'." when I select my Orchestrations project, otherwise for my Pipelines, Schemas and Maps it is working fine.

Can someone from BizTalk Documenter team look into this.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Very handy, I really like how it documents the dependency between the different BT artifacts. Very good.

Created Issue: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: '...' Key being added: '...'

i am seeing this when 2 artifacts have the same name (in my particular situation pipelines) despite the fact that they reside in 2 different BizTalk assemblies... i can't seem to find any sort of dictionary object in the source code where i can modify the determination of unique keys...

any pointers (or a fixed version :) ) would be much appreciated

New Post: Where is v3.2 source code?

thingeley — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 10:42:12 GMT

We're having some issues running the v3.2 BizTalk documenter against our deployed apps. Most of the issues have been raised in existing posts - errors converting idList pair into SendPort and errors generating XML output for Word. I was going to spend some time investigating the source to see if the issues could be resolved, but the only source I seem to be able to get is for an older version that includes a non-functional Word output - and the site says latest checkin is in 2007.

Where is the v3.2 source (that is equivalent to the current binary)?

Has anyone seen an erorr when trying to generate Word documentation, rather than CHM ?

- an XML file is generated though

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Great tool to have in the BizTalk toolkit

New Post: Map Documention

charliemott — Fri, 15 May 2009 12:59:57 GMT

For the map documentation produced by the BizTalk Server Documenter tool, it would be great to include improved map documentation in the chm file on the lines of the layout produced by Steve Hart's "HTML Generator Stylesheet for BizTalk Maps" (http://www.hartsteve.com/2006/02/20/biztalk-map-documenter/).

This XSLT file is used to create an html document by transforming a BizTalk .btm files. Note, it does work with BizTalk 2006 too.

We have been using this Map Documenter on our project, and it has been great. We have also made the following improvements:

- 3 column table layout for direct node-to-node links: source node, destination, node and comments.
- The comments include output of labels and constants.
- Map Paging support.

On our wish-list would also be:

- show fields from both source and destination schemas that are not linked.
- sorting of lines by destination schema fields.

New Post: Documenter Fails to Include Expected Policies and Vocabularies

pc — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:10:22 GMT

I'm experiencing a problem with the Word document not generating any output for BRE Policies and Rules, however, this content does appear in the chm file. Is this feature not implemented yet?

Commented Issue: When specific applications are selected for documenting in the UI, only the first one is included in the resulting CHM file

ajade101 — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:33:14 GMT

If you select multiple applications to document in the UI, only one (the first one) will be documented.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: ajade101 **

It is not working. Produce output just for default.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Hi guys, That tool was in my wishlist for some time! Thanks for that! One more thing tht would make me even happier: 1) Mapping filters associated to a port 2) Display inbound and outbound maps on ports Those two are specially important when you have a messaging scenario, where your whole configuration is hidden within the ports.

New Post: Cast error when using Word as output provider

Nisse — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:26:07 GMT

Hi!

When I use chm as output provider everything works like a charm on my Windows Server 2003.
But I want to use Word as output provider, and that is where my problems begin and I get an error saying:

"Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Services.Tools.BizTalkOM.NameIdPair' to type 'Microsoft.Services.Tools.BizTalkOM.SendPort'."

Has anyone else seen this, and more importantly: does anyone have a solution?

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - This version is even better than the 2004 Documenter. It also includes unbounded ports. Very cool. The user interface is also very easy to use. Good work!!!

Commented Issue: Error when port tracking is enabled

dmierlo — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:35:40 GMT

The documenter throws an error whenever it encounters a port with tracking enabled.

The work-around to disable all tracking works.
