Hi!
I'm having a real hard time trying to understand the following behaviour:
I have succesfully deployed the "HelloWorld" sample wich comes with the SDK,
and that basically just takes an incomming file from a receive location, maps
the content in that file into a new one, and puts the new file in an
Out-catalog. I can drop the test file provided within the sample
("SamplePOInput.xml"), and out comes the out-file. So far so good...
However, a strange thing happens (at least if you ask me) when I drop
another file, wich is incorrect according to the expected content in the
incomming file: the incorrect file that I drop in the receive location
remains in that receive location instead of "dissapearing" into Biztalk, and
there are no entries what so ever in the event log about that incorrect file.
You could get the impression that nothing happens with the file, but if I
look in HAT -> Operations -> Service Instances, I can see that two new
instances of type "Pipeline" and with status "Active" are created each
minute, until I manually delete the file from the receive location. These
instances have exit code "-1061153238", wich I have found absolutly no
information about...
I'd appreciate if anyone could explain this behaviour to me, because what I
expected was simply the incorrect file "dissapearing" as usually, and an
error being loged in the application log containing something like "invalid
content" or something like that.
Regards
