I’m trying to process an edifact file using Biztalk. I have setup a very simple map which is applied to send port. However, Biztalk complains about the message. I tried searching the net, but without any result. You can see the edi file here. I have setup parties and agreement using EDIFACT protocol, though I’m not sure how correctly I did. Whenever I try to provide biztalk with that message, I can see in event log the following message:
A message received by adapter “FILE” on receive location “Receive
Location1” with URI “C:\Temp*.edi” is suspended. Error details: An
output message of the component “Unknown ” in receive pipeline
“Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive,
Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35” is suspended due to the following
error:
Error: 1 (Field level error) SegmentID: UNB Position in TS: 1 Data Element ID: UNB5 Position in Segment: 5 Data Value: 37:
Invalid character(s) found in data element. The sequence number of
the suspended message is 1. MessageId:

I’m not sure what it means. Any help, indication would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
The message you provide looks like a properly formatted EDIFACT message for syntax version 1 (Syntax version 4 is current). I don’t know Biztalk, but you probably have to set something to make sure it is expecting syntax version 1. The UNA segment is different for syntax version 1 (it expects 5 delimiters) compared to the more recent syntax versions (where it expects 6 delimiters), so if Biztalk is expecting a UNA segment for a higher syntax version, then it won’t be able to properly deal with the message.
