Lesson 3: Testing an XML Instance

  • Article

In this lesson, you submit a valid MT103 message in XML format to the file receive ports created in the previous lessons. This action tests the send pipelines that you created in previous modules. Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT (A4SWIFT) writes the output as a flat file to the output folder that you selected for the send port in the previous module.

You initiate the file receive adapter by copying a SWIFT XML-formatted file to the inbound folder. This action results in the system copying a valid SWIFT flat file to the outbound folder.

To test an XML Instance

  1. In Windows Explorer, open <drive>:\Labs\Outbound. Verify that this folder contains the {GUID}.xml file that you sent to this folder in Lesson 1: Submitting a Sample Flat File of this module.

  2. Copy the XML file, and paste it into <drive>:\Labs\Inbound\XMLFile. Note the time that you pasted this file.

  3. Move to <drive>:\Labs\Outbound. Verify that there is a file called {GUID}.txt in this folder, and that the time in the Date Modified column for this file corresponds to the time that you pasted the file into <drive>:\Labs\Inbound\XMLFile.

  4. In Notepad, open MT103_Sample.txt in <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT\SDK\Tutorial.

  5. In another instance of Notepad, open {GUID}.txt in <drive>:\Labs\Inbound\XMLFile.

  6. Verify that the two files in Notepad contain the same content.
