XML debatch in pipeline

Last month I had a post were described how to debatch XML message in orchestration
How I wrote it is not the best solution , in case if you will have hundreds of records the debatching using XPath will consume too much memory and processor.

In this post I am going to show how to debatch using pipeline.
The sample will fetch multiple records from MS SQL database and after debatching put them to folder.

How to create simple WCF-SQL ports and SQL polling you can read in my old post
I will use the same procedure and table to generate Schemas and PortTypes

In generated schema change envelop type to yes



Next click on TypePolling which is the root for schema
In properties find Body XPath
and edit it as in picture is

Then change the last node to have Max Occurs = 1

Now we should remove hidden stones :-)

When you added adapter metadata from wizard to your project
PortType was generated, DO NOT use it while creating logical receive port in orchestration.
DO NOT Use multipart message type while creating Message
your mesage now has simple structure



Thats all
now in output folder you should have many files where each will contain a single record from SQL

Hey, thanks for your post but I'm not getting it to work right. Richard Serotor has a similar blog about this but neither are working for me. I'm still getting a single XML file with multiple records from my db.

I'm using TypedPolling to get my schema and data from db. I changed the Schema to Envelope=Yes, updated the Body XPath, and set leaf node to Max Occurence = 1. Created a File Send port to consume the receive port (no orchestration) but I'm still getting a single file in output folder.

What am I missing? Thanks!

Hello Armen,

Is this possible (debatch using pipeline) with the schemas created by the Select operation in the Consume Adapter Service wizard?

Thanks,

Hello Armen,
Is it possible to debatch in the pipeline using the schemas generated by the Select method of the Consume Adapter Service wizard?

Hi
Sure , if your schema is Taken from WCF-SQL adapter you can debatch in the same way.
Changing that values will not break your XSD

Thanks for the article. Really useful. I managed to get it to work for my project. But the result set is duplicating after debatching. For example if I have two records in the database table, debatch gives me four records. one duplicate record for each record. What I am I doing wrong? Thanks

Hi
Check pooling interval,
also check that you mark that records as retrieved so next time SP will skip records.

run SQL profiler to understand what's going on

Armen,

Thanks for the details I am now debatching my messages on the pipeline ;)

1. Create database and tables2. Create stored procedure 3. Create BizTalk project 4. Create orchestration 5. Consume WCF-SQL 6. Write received data to file share


First create TESTWCFSQL database from you SQL Management studio Run the script to create table:
USE TESTWCFSQL GO
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.MainData', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.MainData GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.MainData ( MainDataID int primary key identity(1,1), FirstName nvarchar(30), LastName nvarchar(30), Amount int ) GO

Run script in SQL management studio to create procedure
IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = N'dbo' AND SPECIFIC_NAME = N'PollData' ) DROP PROCEDURE dbo.PollData GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.PollData AS select MainDataID, FirstName, LastName, Amount from dbo.MainData delete from dbo.MainData GO
insert some sample lines executing
use TESTWCFSQL
insert into MainData (FirstName, LastName, Amount) values (N'Patrick', N'Cash', 1000), (N&#…

Running Stockfish hosted in Azure function

Image
While working on small chess application had an idea to integrate Stockfish engine, so it will be possible to play with engine.
More about Stockfish here : https://stockfishchess.org/
and here https://github.com/mcostalba/Stockfish

The idea is to pass FEN and Depth for calculation to some API which will suggest the best move.
My main problem is that the goal is to host engine in Azure, as function written in C# while Stockfish is in C++. There are of course some .net ports but really outdated and did not want to experiment with them.

First step is just to clone git repo of Stockfish and build exe file, put it into separate folder in my solution. Stockfish is a command line tool. I will send the commands to console and read the output.

This is what I will send and get:


And in the solution it will look like this:

With "No build" and "Copy to output" options

The function by itself to get the request is pretty simple:
[FunctionName("stockfish")]
        public stat…
