Conversion Functoids

Description

This library includes a suit of functoids that make data conversions that you can use inside BizTalk Mapper.

Convert from human readable to epoch date Functoid

This functoid allows you to convert a traditional date (Human Readable Date) into a Unix date (Epoch Date).

What is epoch time?

The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (in ISO 8601: 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z). Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1-1-1970), but ‘epoch’ is often used as a synonym for ‘Unix time’. Many Unix systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).

Human readable time	Seconds
1 minute	60 seconds
1 hour	3600 seconds
1 day	86400 seconds
1 week	604800 seconds
1 month (30.44 days)	2629743 seconds
1 year (365.24 days)	31556926 seconds

XPath Functoids

Description

This library includes a suit of functoids that provides XPath methods that you can use this inside BizTalk Mapper.

XPath Functoid

This functoid natively integrates custom XPath queries in the BizTalk Mapper. This unique functoid which is a powerful competitor to the ScripterFunctoid or a custom XSLT stylesheet and mixes exceptionally well with other functoids.

Parameters

The functoid takes one mandatory input parameter and one optional parameter:

The first parameter specifies an absolute or relative XPath expression, which becomes a native part of the generated XSLT.
The (optional) second parameter is a link to the source tree node that becomes the (looping) context for the XPath expression.

This defines the current context node for the XPath expression and allows the use of relative XPath expressions. Additionally, the mapper will generate a looping construct for that linked node where appropriate.

This functoid requires one input parameter only:

Parameter 1: A value that can be evaluated as either True or False.

Returns “True” if the specified input parameter evaluates to False; “False” otherwise.

Advance Logical OR Functoid

Use the Advance Logical OR functoid to return the logical OR of input parameters. The input parameters have to be Boolean or numeric. It determines whether any of the specified input parameters are true.

Parameters

This functoid requires a minimum of two input parameters and a maximum of one hundred:

Parameter 1: A value that can be evaluated as either True or False.
Parameters 2 – 100: Values that can be evaluated as either True or False.

Returns “True” if any of the specified input parameters evaluate to True; “False” otherwise.

If-Then-Else Functoid

Use the If-Then-Else Functoid to return a value from one of two input parameters based on a condition. If the condition (first input) is True, then the value of the second input parameter is returned, otherwise, the Third input is returned.

Parameters

This functoid requires three input parameters:

Boolean representing the result of a previous condition
The value to be returned if the condition is True.
The value to be returned if the condition is False.

If the condition is True, then the value of the second input parameter is returned, otherwise th, Third input is returned.

Installation

Installation in a production environment

In a production environment you just need to install the DLL in the GAC

gacutil /i assemblyPath

Installation in a development environment

In a development environment you should install the DLL in two places

For using inside the Visual Studio BizTalk Mapper, you need to copy the dll file to the “%BTS%\Developer Tools\Mapping Extensions” folder, where %BTS% is the installation folder of BizTalk.
Start Visual Studio.NET and go to “Tools” => “Choose Toolbox Items” and then go to the “Functoids” pane. Check the functoids that should be available in the toolbox.
You must also install the assembly into the GAC so that the functoid is available to BizTalk at runtime.
1. gacutil /i assemblyPath

PowerShell

Installation in a production environment

In a production environment copy the deployment directory and the PowerShell directory from the build environment and place it on the production server

Ensure you are using the latest version of PowerShell, or download it here
Rename the deploymentSettings_Production.xml file to deploymentSetting.xml
Ensure you have compiled the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack Solution using the RELEASE option
Execute the InstallAndRegisterFunctoids.ps1 script

Installation in a development environment

In a development environment go to the PowerShell directory

Ensure you are using the latest version of PowerShell, or download it here
Rename the deploymentSettings_Other.xml file to deploymentSetting.xml
Ensure you have compiled the BizTalk Mapper Extensions UtilityPack Solution using the DEBUG option
Execute the InstallAndRegisterFunctoids.ps1 script

Hi Sandro,

Thanks very much for the extensions!

Something is possibly not right with the get SSO config functoid:

The application name and property name are fine. Using the SSOSettingsFileReader.dll from BTDF I have no issues.

Any idea whats wrong?

Kind regards,

I am having issues with the Default Value Mapping functoid. I can see the values coming in my source, but the output from the functoid does not return me any value. It gives me blank.
