Limitations in EDI pipeline and Direct Submit Port

We found two limitations with BizTalk 2006 R2 Beta2 (and RTM Bit's):

(a) Invoke a direct submit port inside a biztalk orchestration (you have to implement and invoke a web service for direct submit)

(b) Using the EDI send or receive pipelines in conjunction with the MSMQ adapter (you can use the FILE adapter, though)

There was a failure executing the receive pipeline: "Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Source: "Pipeline " Receive Port: "ZES.ReceiveEdi.FL_Batch" URI: "FORMATNAME:DIRECT=OS:.\PRIVATE$\TESTMSMQ" Reason: The integer property value is not valid.



Microsoft will release a hot fix for this issue!
