FIX: A trade partner may reject a 0A1 PIP message when you use BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 or 3.5 to send the 0A1 message to the trade partner

Consider the following scenario. You install Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 and Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 or you install Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 and Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.5 on a server. You use BizTalk Accelerator for RosettaNet 3.3 or RosettaNet 3.5 to send a 0A1 Partner Interface Process (PIP) message to a trade partner. When a failure occurs during PIP processing and the agreement is configured to generate a 0A1 PIP message, the trade partner may reject the message.

This issue occurs because of the following problems:

• If you use 0A1 PIP message version 1.0, you notice that the following node incorrectly contains the ContactInformation element:
  Pip0A1FailureNotification/toRole/PartnerRoleDescription/PartnerDescription/BusinessDescription/GlobalSupplyChainCode
• If you use 0A1 PIP message version 2.0, the following nodes are set to the same value:
  • Pip0A1FailureNotification/fromRole/ContactInformation
  • Pip0A1FailureNotification/toRole/ContactInformation
  The value is the contact information for the home organization.

When you use 0A1 PIP message version 1.0, the message is rejected because it does not follow the following file: This file is published by RosettaNet.org. The Guideline.htm files are provided together with each PIP. These files contain validation information above and beyond what is contained in the .dtd schemas.

When you use 0A1 PIP message version 2.0, you experience the problem that is mentioned in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
