FIX: You can't use a nonstandard qualifier in identity and agreement for an EDIFACT Service schema extension in BizTalk Server


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you implement an Electronic data interchange (EDI) exchange in Microsoft BizTalk Server. To use a nonstandard qualifier for your trading partner, you do the following:

  • Create a new Visual Studio BizTalk project.
  • Add the EDIFACT Service schema extension that's provided by BizTalk Server Setup.By default, this schema is saved in the following location:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server nnnn\XSD_Schema\EDI
    Note In this path, nnnn is the version number of BizTalk Server that you have installed. The schema name is "Edifact_ServiceSchemaExtension.xsd."
  • Open the schema, and then add the value that you want for the UNB2.2 and UNB3.2 segments. For example, add "ZZ" as the value.
  • Deploy the schema.
  • Create a new party recipient by using a new profile and a new identity, as follows:

    • Create a new identity by using custom enumeration ("ZZ," as specified in step 3).
    • Create an Agreement by using the newly created identity ("ZZ"). 
  • Create a new party sender by using a new profile and a new identity.
  • Create a new agreement between the two parties.
  • In the agreement, set UNB2.2 and UNB3.2 as "ZZ."
In this situation, you may receive the following error message:

An identity QualifierIdentity:ZZ:Recipient already exists in the profile. (Microsoft.BizTalk.B2B.PartnerManagement).
