BizTalk 2013R2 中确定形状的大小写敏感

Question

Diagnosing an issue with a BizTalk app where part of it's logic doesn't seem to be triggering.

Currently it's designed to use a Decision Shape to filter on 2 values from a specific message.

One of those values is the word 'staff' in lower case, whereas the map that constructs the message uses a string functoid to populate the value as 'Staff' (sentence case).

I'd test this to see if it's the cause, but we don't currently have a test environment, and there's about 8 apps that this is a dependency on, so I'd need to go through a convoluted process of taking them all offline and deploying the small fix at a gamble.

On that basis, would anyone know; Is BizTalk Decide Shape Expression logic case sensitive?

Answer 1

Yes, the decide shape is case sensitive.

I tested with a rule

Message(FILE.ReceivedFileName) == "D:\\in\\YES.xml"

I dropped through a files YES.xml, yes.xml and YES.XML, and only the YES.xml went through the Rule branch, the other files went through the Else.

This is probably due to C# being case sensitive, see Is there a C# case insensitive equals operator?
