The "Go to Definition" shortcut menu command in the Orchestration view of a BizTalk Project does nothing (837861)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Standard Edition

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 and in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, when you try to display the definition for a message in the Orchestration view, nothing occurs.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when no definition is available because the Message Type property of the message is blank. However, the Go to Definition command on the shortcut menu that appears when you right-click the message is still enabled.

WORKAROUND

If the Message Type property of the message variable is not configured, the Go to Definition menu command is not applicable. To work around this behavior, configure the Message Type property of the message variable first.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Orchestration Designer, the message variables identify an instance of a message that is associated with a message type, for example, a specific schema structure.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. Click the Orchestration View tab.
  2. Right-click Messages, and then click New Message.
  3. Right-click the newly created Message, and then click Go to Definition. No definition is returned.
