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

Testing Azure Functions locally with automated integration test

I am investing more and more time and efforts into building Azure Functions and using serverless instead of WebApps. Greater stability and balancing makes it my first choice when need high quality API. Being big fun of automated testing, faced some issues when coding tests and could not find any useful/working examples. Sources can be found here Some steps here Create function with HTTP trigger using template, dont need anything fancy there. Base it on .Net Core 3.1, you can change it, but then check the path in Test project Create MS Test project Folder structure Project structure Important step, install Azure Function tools from command line, just run npm i -g azure-functions-core-tools after that you can test if it is available from command line The idea is to start functions engine from test project. In local environment you can start it from your command line using Func utility, same can be done from Test project. From command line it will look like this F
