The next step in developing your PIDX / RNIF solution using the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet (BTARN 3.5) is to create a new Process Configuration from your PIDX PIP. I’m going to use the PIDX “Invoice” and “Invoice Response” PIPs (P21 & P22) in this example since they are generally the most...

This is a fairly straight-forward task but since it’s the first thing you’ll need to configure in the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 (BTARN 3.5), I thought I’d walk through it anyway. Creating a Home Organization 1. You begin by opening the BTARN Management Console and right-clicking on the Home...

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then these two diagrams (courtesy & copyright Microsoft) are worth millions! At least they are to anyone desperate to understand how the BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet (BTARN 3.5) really works. Initiator Message Flow Don’t let the complexity of this diagram...

One of the things you’ll need when working with PIDX / RNIF / BTARN projects in BizTalk Server 2006 is the actual PIDX schemas (.xsd) to be used. Luckily the American Petroleum Institute (API) has a public web site for the Petroleum Industry Data Exchange (PIDX) committee which contains links to the...
