Approving a Message

This section describes how to approve a message that has been repaired and verified.

To approve a message

  1. In Internet Explorer, open your MRSR site at http://localhost/sites/bassite.

  2. In the Home window, click Documents.

  3. In the Documents window, under Document Libraries, click <Department name>_Approver.

  4. In the <Department name>_Approver window, click Inbox.

  5. In the Inbox window, point to the title of the message, click the arrow to the right of the message title, and then click Edit in Microsoft Office InfoPath.

  6. In the SWIFT Accelerator pane of the OfficeInfoPath 2007 window, click Errors. Review any errors shown in the Parse and XML Validation Errors box, the BRE Validation Errors box, and the Runtime Errors box.

  7. In the InfoPath form, scroll to the location of the error and verify that the error has been corrected. You can see what the original error was by clicking Errors in the Current Role: Approve pane, and viewing the error in one of the error panes. You can also compare the unrepaired and repaired versions of the message by clicking Message Details in the Current Role: Approve pane.

  8. To ensure that the message will validate, click Validation in the Current Role: Approve pane, and then click Validate Message. Verify that the Results pane displays the message The message is valid.

  9. If you approve of the changes that have been made to the document, in the OfficeInfoPath 2007 window, click Submit.

    Note

    When you click Submit, InfoPath performs XML validation on the message. If the validation is not successful, you must fix the validation errors before proceeding.

  10. In the Submit Message dialog box, click Accept to submit the approved message with changes accepted. Click Reject to submit the message with changes rejected. Click Cancel to cancel the submission and return to the form.

    Note

    If you accept the message changes, BizTalk Server performs BRE validations on the message.

    Note

    If you reject the message changes, BizTalk Server returns the message to the first stage of the workflow (create or repair) and resets the repair workflow.

  11. On the Digital Signature Wizard page for selecting the certificate to sign the form, select the certificate that you want to use to sign the form (the certificate that you created for the approver). Click View Certificate if you want to verify that you are using the correct signature. Click Next.

    Note

    To verify the validity of a digital signature, click Digital Signatures on the Tools menu, click the digital signature that you want to verify, and then click View Signed Form. You can also see which roles have signed the form previously (a form can only be signed by a person once per workflow) by clicking Digital Signatures on the Tools menu. If you need to add another signature for this role, do so in the A4SWIFT Management Console.

  12. On the Digital Signature Wizard page for entering comments, click Finish.

  13. On the Digital Signature Wizard page for verifying the form, verify that the message that you are signing is correct. Click View Certificate if you want to verify that you are using the correct signature. Click I have verified this content before signing, and then click Sign.

  14. In the Verify Digital Signature window, click Close.

  15. In the Submission Success dialog box, click OK.

  16. Close the InfoPath window.

  17. In Windows Explorer, open the folder that you set up to receive sent messages. Verify that the folder contains the approved message. Open the message in a text editor to verify that the message has been repaired.
