EDI Sample Problem
Hi,
I am most interested in the EDI improvements in R2. So far they look great.
I followed the documentation on the EDI sample. I am having problems with the SamplePO.txt file. I drop it into the fromThem folder and the receive location picks it up. The message is then suspended and this is event is in the error log
Event Type: Error
Event Source: BizTalk Server 2006 EDI
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4100
Date: 4/3/2007
Time: 4:43:42 PM
User: N/A
Computer: KOERNEM
Description:
The interchange with id '000000025', with sender id 'THEM ', receiver id 'US ' had structural error. Last structurally valid functional group ID was '1'
For more information, see Help and Support Center athttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Is this a problem with the delimiters in the SamplePO.txt file?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi,
I figured out it was the format of the EDI message. I removed the cr/lf and replaced them with segment terminators of ~. The transaction looks like one big line now.
I also had problems of the send port subscribing to the message but I made sure that the send port filter was correct.
Thanks,
Mike
Greetings,
Got to the same point as you did with the sample.
However, instead of changing the message to work, the question is, why did the sample not work with the configuration specified?
Was the sample file included wrong (should it have had ~ in place of [CR][LF]s)?
Was there a problem with the instructions when setting up and deploying the sample?
Is there a problem with BizTalk's EDI parser?
I am also trying (none to successfully) to validate within VS.Net the SamplePO.txt file against the X12_00401_850.xsd and that is failing for more than one reason as well. I have been tinkering with the settings/file with no luck. Will the file even validate via VS.Net?
I am using BTS 2006 R2 which was just posted this week.
Thoughts, comments anyone?
Thanks in advance.

After further digging/experimenting/documentation reading, I found the details about the Segment Terminator/Suffix in the help.
If you follow the instructions to the letter and use the original sample file, you need to put a ~ at the end of each line in the file. This will then disassemble properly. Alternatively, you can do as previously mentioned and put everything on one line (removing the CRLFs and replacing them with ~s)

Hello - This is a known regression in Beta2. It will be fixed for RC.

I've got the same error.
I wander if the "description" would be so """descriptive"""
in the final release?
I've tried defferent combinations (like 0D hex [CR] + LF(radiobutton)) without luck.
It is pitty because I start the application which will be deployed in production. And this is the "must be" feature. We have diferent partners: with '~' and CR+LF... line terminations....
oho-ho Let's doing this "preprocessor' stuff.

BTW On this error I've got 4 (!!!) error events. (None of them give me a clue wht's going on, but it's beta.)
It is a standard way to BizTalk creating a chain of the events on ONE error.
ok We kinda submit this approuch.
But this is NOT right.
It is not good to get 4 error events for an error, it is NOT good to get 2 events.
Please, MSFT, think about it!
My trading partners also use tilde '~' and CR+LF and I'm getting the same errors in the event log. I found that by replacing ~ with* and adding ~ to the end of every line that I was able to process the EDI files without error.
I also found that my unedited EDI files with ~ and CR+LF, even though errors are created in the event viewer, are correctly processed by the EDI engine. So I don't think that you'll need to do any preprocessing, just ignore this specific error in the logs.

Any estimate on when the RC will be out?
I am going through the tutorial and ran into this problem. I have tried adding ~s to the end of each segment creating a single continus line as well as having a ~ followed by a CRLF at the end of each segment and get this error:

Is it possible for someone who got the edi file to work through the tutorial to post the contents of the file here? I would like to use it to see if it will process through the tutorial on my machine.
