Validate your map

This may sound obvious, but you should always validate your map at different points throughout its development. This will help identify design, logic, and schema problems early in the development cycle when it is easier to fix them or find an alternative solution.

To validate a BizTalk map

1. In Solution Explorer, open the map that you want to validate. 2. In Solution Explorer, right-click the map, and then click Validate Map. 3. In the Output window, verify the results

Note

When you validate a map, your test instance data is not checked to see if it violates any data types defined in the schemas. You can check the instance data when you test the map or validate the instance data in BizTalk Editor.
