So are you inferring that I should be using the TCP port BusAddapter, and forget about MSMQ? Even so, are we supposed to take the provided XML definition files and add the nodes that the standard code is looking for? I am trying to do things right, but there is very little in the way of direction/prescription. But there is the problem, as there is no real document that teelss me what the correct method is of doing anything, I am trying to reverse engineer the inbound XML order code in the 9900xxxx range of codeunits. As far as the AIC provided goes, it doesn’t seem to be using MSMQ, which I thought was the prescribed way of posting to Navision. I run that through Biztalk, mapping it to the standard DocSpecs\Commerce Gateway\NavisionSO.xml definition file provided by Navsion, and then post it to MSMQ. I get a flat file with several orders, one per line. The first question sounds like 2 ways of saying the same thing to me. Does anyone know how you are to use the out-of-the-box Navision Biztalk Sales Order codeunits? I would appreciate any input! dd Isn’t this documented anywhere? I find it hard to believe that a product as expensive as this comes with less documentation than the average game. I have scoured the documentation, and grepped my HD for files containing 'NFRequest’to no avail. So far so good, as Navision now seems to get the message, but upon closer inspection of the XML Document-Receive codeunit, I find that it is looking for nodes (/NFRequest/RequestType, ) that don’t exist in the standard SO definition files provided! I had seen this and supposed it must be added to the message via a trasformation by the bus adaptor / or the communications component,but apparently that is not so.
I have managed to construct an inbound channel in biztalk which maps my customer’s flat file into one of the standard SO definition files installed with CG, and went on to write an AIC that uses the CG MSMQ busadapter to submit the MSMQ messages. In there it looks like it is ready to go, if I can get Navision to field the messages. I looked at the XML Document-Receive codeunit that comes with Navision.
I am trying to use the CG / Biztalk tools for sales order import.
