FIX: SkeletalResponseMessage May Contain Empty Elements That Are Not Valid (831543)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for RosettaNet provides a SkeletalResponseMessage to the responder adapter. However, this message may contain the following empty elements:
  • /ServiceHeader/ProcessControl/ActivityControl/MessageControl/Manifest/ServiceContentControl/ActionIdentity/messageStandard
  • /ServiceHeader/ProcessControl/ActivityControl/MessageControl/Manifest/ServiceContentControl/ActionIdentity/standardVersion
The RosettaNet Service Header document type definition (DTD) states that if these two elements exist, they must be not empty. If these elements appear as empty elements in the SkeletalResponseMessage, interoperation may not succeed.
