BizTalk Server 2020 – 20 days, 20 posts – day 14. Continuing the BizTalk Pipeline Components Extensions UtilityPack project, I released the CBR Operation Promotion Encode Pipeline Component today.
📝 One-Minute Brief
Introduces the CBR Operation Promotion Encode Pipeline Component for BizTalk Server 2020, a custom send‑pipeline component that promotes the Operation context property to enable clean and efficient content‑based routing (CBR) scenarios.
CBR Operation Promotion Encode Pipeline Component
The CBR 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 Operation property. This component is useful to implement a pure Content-Based Routing solution to integrate with SQL Server.
The component will promote the Operation property by taking the value (word) that lies ahead of the cardinal (#) from the MessageType message context property and promote it to the Operation Message Context Property.
This component doesn’t require any configuration.
To use this pipeline component in your projects, you just copy the CBROperationPromotionDecode.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
