One-Minute Brief (TL;DR):
CBR Operation Promotion Encode Pipeline Component
The CBR IDoc Operation Promotion Encode Pipeline Component is a pipeline component for BizTalk Server, which can be used in send pipelines, the Encode stage, to promote the IDOC Operation property. This component is useful to implement a pure Content-Based Routing solution to integrate with the SAP Server.
This component requires one configuration that is the MessageType string to be ignored. Then it will take the last string (word) from the MessageType Message Context Property and promote it to the Operation Message Context Property.

To use this pipeline component in your projects, you just copy the CBRIdocOperationPromotionDecode.dll file into the Pipeline Components folder that exists in the BizTalk Server installation directory:
- ..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Pipeline Components;
on every server.
You do not need to add this custom pipeline component to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) for the BizTalk Runtime to use.
What is BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack?
BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions Utility Pack provides a collection of custom pipeline components that developers can use in receive and send pipelines. These components extend BizTalk Server’s out‑of‑the‑box pipeline capabilities.
The project lives in the BizTalk Server Open Source Community repository on GitHub (https://github.com/BizTalkCommunity). Moreover, anyone can contribute new pipeline components or enhance existing ones to further improve BizTalk Server capabilities.

At the moment, this project is available for:
- BizTalk Server 2020;
- BizTalk Server 2016;
- BizTalk Server 2010;
- BizTalk Server 2006-2009
