When you have a pipeline components created and you like to test the working of it, create a new Biztalk Server Project for testing purposes. Copy the pipeline components libraries to the next directory: “C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004\Pipeline Components”. Create a new pipeline and add the created pipeline components to the toolbar of Visual Studio. Insert the pipeline component in the pipeline and save your test project.
So there are several ways to test your pipeline components and you have to decide for you own what suits you the best. I’m now going to describe two ways of debugging a pipeline component. One possibility is installing a ‘dummy’ orchestrations bound to this pipeline component and push some messages through, and the second possibility is to use the pipeline.exe tool. (more…)
