Hi Mark,

I don't have any direct experience working with WSS adapter, but based on my
experience with other adapters I can suggest somethings.

1. You need to make sure, you are getting some response back from Sharepoint
services.
2. I'm assuming WSS adapter will be similar to HTTP adapter, where you need
to specify a HTTP URL to post the message. If that's the case, you can use
TCPTRACE (http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/) tool to monitor what's going
out and what's coming back in.
3. If the WSS adapter is really sending some responses back, then you should
see some suspended messages from HAT/Admin console, which will show you the
response message.

May be its worth investigating using a static solict-response send port
first, and then switch to dynamic ports, just to simplify your solution.

No I understand - that's what I was trying to get at: how do I know what form
the response will take? Your answer is: it depends how the web service has
been written.

In my case I am using the WSS Adapter that comes with Biztalk 2006 and I'm
trying to work out what response it gives.

Hello Mark,

I just noticed in your message, when I was going through it second time, you
are using dynamic send port. "Delivery Transmitted" will not work for Dynamic
send ports, because dynamic ports are not designed to inherit all attributes
and characteristics of the normal port .

To answer your question, in your approach:

Solicit-Response send port won't produce any messages automatically, it's
upto you to decide on the response message, obviously it depends on what
response message you are getting from the remote system you are interacting
with.

Say for example you are sending a message to a WebService the response
message you get will be determined by the response send back from the
Webservice.

If I've confused it :-) drop me a note.

Hello Mark,

In order to make sure the message delivered succesfully, the easiest option
is to set the "Delivery Transmitted" property in your port inside the
orchestration. Setting this property will monitor for successful
transmission, if there is an issue a NACK message will be generated and given
back.

There is a walkthrough sample by Stephen Thomas

I'm sending a message to a dynamic send port, and I want the port to tell me
if the message was delivered successfully or not, so I've changed it to a
Request - Response port type.

I understand that the message going into the send port will be the XML that
I've fed in to start the Orchestration off. But what type of message should I
use to get the response? What format will the Send Port response come in? Can
I just use a System.String data type or do I need to do something more?

Mark.
