BizTalk 2004 Business Rule Engine - Fact Unrecognized

[whidbeywave]

Hi,

When i run my scenario as test policy in BRC, rules are fired, and I
get the correct results. But when I try to execute() using Policy or
PolicyTester, the same scenario does not fire any rules. I am trying
the sample from Biztalk Server 2004 Unleashed - chapter 11. (business
rules). While i set the trace I got this log below:

Your document is likely not properly named according to your rules. make
sure the name you are using in your code matches the name in the policy.

Thanks Matt,
You sound logical :-o). I believe the document you mentioned in mail is
xml file, which acts as input, so here are the xsd and xml and piece of
code which involves in action. I would really appreciate if you can
point my mistake. I am troubled with XML namespaces at the moment. The
example I have picked up is from book microsoft biztalk server
unleashed 2004. Since it is from Que publication, a soft copy of this
chapter 11 (business rule) is also kept on Que publication website.

In your business rule policy, check the places where you use the xml
document and make sure they have this same name in them:
RFPEstimateXML.RulesRFP. If they just have RulesRFP, that is your problem.
When you create the vocabulary item, or open a schema in the vocabulary
explorer, you often have to change the document type name to match what you
are going to be using from an orchestration or code.

It is work if I'm not using database for condition in policy and vocabulary.
However when I try for using database for condition in policy rule, the codes
are just copying sample_rfp.xml become ProcessedRFP.xml with nothing process,
I use Policy class for execute it. When I try for using Policy Tester, the
program will exit at code :
rfpRules.ExecutionConfiguration = exConfig;
with message :
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to ....ect.at
Que.BizTalk.Rules.RFPHost.Main<String[] args> in

I'm in stuck.I'm really appreciate your attention.

[Atjeh Tsu]

Yup, I have asserted a dataconnection in my fact retriever code. But it still
doesn't work properly.
This is my code :
public class RFPDbFactRetriever:IFactRetriever
{

public object UpdateFacts(RuleSetInfo rulesetInfo,
Microsoft.RuleEngine.RuleEngine engine, object factsHandleIn)
{
object factsHandleOut;

// The following logic asserts the required DB rows only once and
always uses the the same values (cached) during the first retrieval in
subsequent execution cycles
//if (factsHandleIn == null)
{

SqlConnection con1 = new SqlConnection("Initial
Catalog=Consulting;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;");
DataConnection dc1 = new DataConnection("Consulting", "Rates",
con1);
engine.Assert(dc1);

factsHandleOut = dc1;
}

// else
// factsHandleOut = factsHandleIn;

return factsHandleOut;
}

thank you for the attention in advance.

In your business rule policy, check the places where you use the xml
RFPEstimateXML.RulesRFP. If they just have RulesRFP, that is your problem.
When you create the vocabulary item, or open a schema in the vocabulary
explorer, you often have to change the document type name to match what you
are going to be using from an orchestration or code.

After looking at your post on another thread with Jon Flanders, this is
indeed your problem. In the rule composer, you have the following:
RulesRFP
as your document type. Change your code to use this value in the
constructor for the TypedXmlDocument and you should see this fact get
recognized.
