BizTalk HL7 Error: Failure executing BTAHL72XSendPipeline: Error details: "Body schema is missing"

  • Article

Recently, I was working on an issue, in which we were trying to construct a multi-part HL7 message.

An HL7 message, generally consist of 3 segments:

  1. MSHSegments
  2. BodySegments
  3. ZSegments

We were calling the HL7 receive pipeline, from within the orchestration, using the following call:

Microsoft.XLANGs.Pipeline.XLANGPipelineManager.ExecuteReceivePipeline(typeof(ReceicvePipelineType),input message)

We were successfully able to receive the messages and create the XML corresponding to all the 3 segments.
But when we tried to construct the multi –part message using the XMLs we were getting the error:
xlang/s engine event log entry: Uncaught exception (see the 'inner exception' below) has suspended an instance of service 'ODH.BTBiDirectional.Orchestrations.ProcessImmunizationHistory(7b3aa024-98a5-3af2-00e0-1eb55a9c888f)'.
The service instance will remain suspended until administratively resumed or terminated.
If resumed the instance will continue from its last persisted state and may re-throw the same unexpected exception.

InstanceId: 184c71e3-2a8d-4989-8dba-a032fffb4e7c
Shape name: ConstructMessage_1
ShapeId: 905a6fe1-58c1-4ab3-9791-1d44faa16bee
Exception thrown from: segment 5, progress 10
Inner exception: There was a failure executing pipeline "ODH.BTBiDirectional.Orchestrations.HL7TargetRSPSendPipeline". Error details: "Body schema is missing".  

We were constructing the multi part message as follows:

Multipartmsg.MSHSegment = MSHSegmentXML;
Multipartmsg.BodySegment = BodySegmentXML;
Multipartmsg.ZSegment = ZSegmentXML;

The reason we get the above error is due to the fact that message type property for multi-part message is not available in the context of the message. To overcome this problem you also need
to copy the context value from incoming message to multi-part message in the assignment shape while creating the multi-part message. You can use the following expression in the assignment shape to copy the context:

HL7MultipartMessage(*)=InputMsgForHl7BodyPart(*);

Also make sure that you set the MessageEncoding value for the newly formed HL7 message as well:

HL7MultipartMessage(BTAHL7Schemas.MessageEncoding) = 65001;

Once this being done, you can call the Send Pipeline from the orchestration and the message will get constructed successfully.

Hope this helps !!!
