FIX: A trade partner may reject an RNIF 1.1 document or an RNIF 2.0 document that you generate by using BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 or for RosettaNet 3.5

Consider the following scenarios:

• You install Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3.
• You install Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5.

You use BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 or BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 to generate a RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF) 1.1 document or an RNIF 2.0 document. You send the document to a trade partner.

In these scenarios, the trade partner may reject the RNIF1.1 document or the RNIF 2.0 document because the document has invalid content in the GlobalTransactionCode or GlobalProcessCode fields. When this problem occurs, you notice that the values for the GlobalProcessCode field and the GlobalTransactionCode field that are in the following two paths are identical:

• /ServiceHeader/ProcessControl/ProcessIdentity/GlobalProcessCode
• /ServiceHeader/ProcessControl/TransactionControl/TransactionIdentity/GlobalTransactionCode

This problem occurs because of how BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 generate RNIF documents. When BizTalk Server 2006 and BizTalk Server 2006 R2 generate RNIF 1.1 documents, BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 use the value from the Process Name field in the configuration process to populate both the GlobalProcessCode field and the GlobalTransactionCode field for the Service Header elements. However, these two fields must be populated independently. In this case, some Partner Interchange Processes (PIPs) require that these fields contain different values. However, BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 always use always uses the same value to populate these fields. When this behavior occurs, the trade partner rejects the RNIF 1.1 document or the RNIF 2.0 document.

This hotfix updates the components that BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 and BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 use to process PIP documents. Before you apply this hotfix on the BizTalk Server 2006 server or on the BizTalk Server 2006 R2 server, make sure that all PIP processing has finished and all RosettaNet orchestrations have finished.

After you run the Setup.exe file in this hotfix, you must manually run the SQL script Update_BTARNConfig_PIPConfig.sql on the server that is running SQL Server and hosting the BTARNCONFIG database. For more information, see the Readme.txt file that is included in the hotfix package.
