This is the first time I am working with bitmap fields.. Can someone provide me the example of the records as per the above bitmap fields specification.

And how do we send the record using biztalk..like which piepline should we use.

Answer 1

It looks like it is a positional flat file.

So create a positional flat file schema and use a flatfile pipeline.

Answer 2

Hi,

1>As suggested this is a simple positional flat file. Using you document as reference generate a schema:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/biztalk/core/walkthrough-creating-a-flat-file-schema-from-a-document-instance

2>Later create a receive flat file pipeline and  based on your requirement implement routing:
