Role Link Sample.....better late than never.....

I applogize for being anything but prompt on this.

The zip file can be found here.

Steps for setting up Role Link Sample -

1. Create a receive port in BTS Explorer
2. Create 2 send ports - RoleLinkTest_Approver1 and RoleLinkTest_Approver2
3. Set your transports, send or receive locations, etc for your ports
4. Create a party called Approver1.  Choose RoleLinkTest_Approver1 as their send port.
5. Create a party called Approver2.  Choose RoleLinkTest_Approver2 as their send port.

At this point you should be able to deploy the project.  Once the project has been successfully

deployed, you should now have a new Role listed in BTS Explorer called

RoleLinkSample.RoleLinkTestOrchestration.Purchasing.Approver.  This is from the role link type we

created earlier.

6. Right click on the new Role and select "Enlist Party".  Choose are 2 parties.  From this point

forward, if you wanted to add new parties (for new trading partners perhaps), you would just repeat

steps 4,5 and 6...it's that easy!!!

Now you can run the test files through.  Read back through the previous post on role links, and

follow along this example (pay attention to the expression shape that initializes the ports). 

Hopefully it will make a little more sense.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if the setup instructions are lacking.

ooops, almost forgot..take a look at the 2 files you'll be submitting, and don't forget to point the project to a keyfile.

Gravatar I just wanted to thank you for the example and the previous article regarding Role Links. As powerful as they are, role links are a little frustrating to use.

The problem I experienced, was after creating my Role Link Type, Role, and Port Type, compilation of the orchestration solution was failing with:

uninitialized 'uses' service link.

After reading your article, I realized what I had missed. Once I added an expression shape to initialize the role link's destination property (DestinationParty), the solution finally compiled cleanly. 10/6/2004 7:29 PM | Joel D.

Gravatar Thanks for this useful article. I am facing a problem while testing:

I am getting the following error in the Event Log.

"Destination party not found while attempting to send message 'INPOMessage' to (TestApprover1, OrganizationName)."

I have the host running with trust authentication. Any pointer to this problem will be very helpful 1/21/2005 11:19 AM | K. Meena

Gravatar Have you actually enlisted the party in question to a role? And if so, have you tried to change it since then? If you try to change a party id after it's been enlisted, if everything is not done in just the right order, part of the old id is "stuck". In your case it appears that perhaps the party is not enlisted to a role.
