BizTalk 2006 R2 K2 Blackpearl Integration

Hi Sujith,

From what I've heard, there are some bits coming out in the next major refresh/release that will have native/direct BizTalk functionality.

In the meantime, I have a similar project where we are plugging the two into each other using Web Services - you might want to give that a try. It's not necessarily "native" and creates another code base to maintain, but we found it a fast and effective way to get the two talking to each other.

Hi Lucas,

Sorry for a very late response. In my case I had a WCF Service invoked from BizTalk to achieve triggering of the blackpearl workflow process by populating a smartobject.

At this point I am working on invoking a WCF Service/ ASMX service from blackpearl workflow process to return the corelation Id and the outcome of my workflow which is a modified status value, both of which I plan to extract from my smartobject. I am relatively new to K2 and have no clue about doing this.My best bet at the moment is to use the WF server event and invoke a WCF/ASMX service from there.However I am having difficuties in actually extracting the values from my smartobject that I will need to make available to the web service client in the WF part. Is there a way to extract these values within the WF part.

Also if you have a completely different approach to call a web service from the k2 process and return values to BizTalk please do let me know.

Thanks

Sujith
