Post is in continuation of First ESB Itinerary (Post 1).
Once all components are connected and configured we are ready to save the itinerary... but once you try to save the itinerary you will get following error. I had to spent sometime to fix this error which was quite straight forward to fix. So what was wrong...?
The property indicated in red should be set to false. Once that is done designer would save. But along with that unless you actually want to use certificate, you have to make changes at two different places. First is in config file for designer which you can find at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Tools\Itinerary Designer". Open "ruleset.config" file. Search for "EncryptionCertificate".
Comment the section "EncryptingCertificate validator".
Next open registry editor. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk ESB Toolkit\2.1\Designer. Open the registry key RequireX509Certificate. Change it to false.
Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\BizTalk ESB Toolkit\2.1\Designer. Open the registry key RequireX509Certificate and Change it to false as well.
Now return back to designer and right click "Validate all". This should check all of your components placed on designer. Once successful save. Again right click and Click on "Export Model". This will create model at path mentioned in "Itinerary XML File" property. Default it is in user directory\Documents\My Itineraries\{itinerary_name}.xml
Once this is successful go to Visual Studio Command Prompt. Go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit 2.1\Bin". Run following command to deploy the itinerary in ESB Itinerary Database.
EsbImportUtil.exe /f:"path of itinerary xml file" /c:deployed /o
It would display message of succeful import to database or else error in case anything goes wrong.
Now go to receive location we created earlier. Open properties to configure for it. We have to enter "ItineraryFactKey" and "ResolverConnectionString" property as below.
Once values are entered. Save it. Go to send port. Open properties window for ItinerarySendPassthrough. Set validate as false. Save it.
Restart host instance configured. If default it will be BiztalkServerApplication host instance. Go to MS SQL Server mnagement studio.
Run SELECT * FROM [EsbItineraryDb].[dbo].[Itinerary] command. It will give you following or simillar result.
Click on xml of imITML column. It will show you xml which was generated while exporting as below:
Our application is deployed and ready to be tested. You can put any message or xml message if using disassembler at receive location. You should expect output at sent port configured in designer.
Here ends first lesson for BizTalk ESB.
