How to replace a multipart message schema in a map without replacing the map

Question

I have an orchestration map that maps two source messages into one destination message. When the schema for one of the source messages changes, I was hoping to be able to click on the input message part and select "Replace Schema" to refresh the schema for just the message part affected. Instead I can only replace the entire multipart message schema with the single message part schema.

My only other option seems to be to generate a new map from the orchestration transform shape, but this means I have to recreate all the links in my map...

Does anyone know of a more efficient way to update this type of schema?

Answer 1

I've decided for now to do this by modifying the xml of the map file. If anyone out there has any better ideas, I'd still like to hear them. Thanks!

Answer 2

After creating maps in the orchestration project, i moved them to maps project by copy and paste and change the namespace. Now everything looks good. But I found interesting problem.

When i try to reference these maps in the orchestraion I am able to see two schema namepaces under the maps references dll. one has newly moved maps and another one has old ones.

Can any one explain why? Is that sth i am doing wrong. or Biztalk 06 (vs2005) is behaving funny....

Then i created a new map in the Maps project and copied the xslt from orchestrioan map and pasted there. If i go with this approach i am unable to see two namespaces in the orchestraiton shape while referencing.
