PRB: Cumulative Sum Functoid Sums the Whole Document and Is Not Limited by Its Input Parameter (813616)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002
SYMPTOMSWhen you use any of the Cumulative functoids in a map in BizTalk Server 2002, you may notice the following behavior: - You supply a
second parameter to limit the scope of the functoid. However, the functoid still accumulates the
values for the whole document and does not stop at the specified level.
The
documentation that is included with BizTalk Server states that this second parameter
limits the scope of the functoid: This functoid requires two input parameters. The second parameter specifies the hierarchy level (from the standpoint of the compiler link) from the source node. This parameter should be an integer greater than 0 and less than the node depth from the root node. CAUSEThe functoids are operating as designed. This is a
documentation error with respect to the use of the functoids. In the current
version of Microsoft BizTalk Server, you cannot limit the scope of the
functoids by using the second input parameter.WORKAROUNDTo work around this issue, do one of the following:
- Create a custom preprocessor to work with the data before
you go to the map.
-or- - Create a custom application integration component (AIC) to
accumulate your data after processing.
-or- - Use a double-pass method where you modify the data into
multiple documents on the first pass, and then you submit each resultant document to
do your cumulative operations on the second pass.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
