SUMMARY

The BizTalk Orchestration Designer is a design-time tool that allows users to diagram and implement business processes. The business process typically includes the handling of business documents, and the business documents can include XML or non-XML data. However, BizTalk Orchestration places non-XML data within a CDATA section of an XML document.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, the non-XML data is wrapped in an XML document as follows:
<StringData>
<BR/> <BR/> UNA-+.? <BR/> UNB+UNOA-2+(425) 5551212-12-address+(800)5551212-12-address+980608-1617+REFERENCE+PASSWORD-ZZ+MESSAGEID+ZZ+1+COMID+1<BR/> UNH+MESSAGE REFERE+INVRPT-D-93A-UN-CTIA01+COMMON ACCESS REFERENCE+27-C<BR/> BGM+190---Document/message name+Document/message number+5+AA<BR/> DTM+90-Date/time/period-101<BR/> NAD+BY+Party id identifi--1++Party name+++++Cou<BR/> RFF+ZZZ-Reference number<BR/> CTA+IC+-Department or employee<BR/> COM+Communication number-EM<BR/> CUX+2-Cur<BR/> LIN+12201++Item number-BP<BR/> IMD+F++-12--Item description-BUYER<BR/> LOC+18+Place/location identifica<BR/> DTM+191-Date/time/period-101<BR/> RFF+AEN-Reference number<BR/> QTY+17-22722-Mea<BR/> UNT+15+MESSAGE REFERE<BR/> UNZ+1+REFERENCE<BR/> <BR/>
</StringData>
You can use the IXMLDOMCDATASection interface of the Microsoft XML Document Object Model to access this data programmatically.
