FIX: BizTalk Mapper: Blank Segments Are Generated in X12 Output Format (297584)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q297584

SYMPTOMS

When you create maps that involve Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as a target, an element may be generated with blank attributes.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the attributes of the element (fields of the segment, in EDI terminology) are conditionally generated. The map generates XSL Transformations (XSLT), which creates the element with no regard for whether or not conditions that are applied to the member attributes will be fulfilled.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
