Group Max Occurs (Node Property of All Schemas)

 

Use the Group Max Occurs property to specify the maximum number of times the underlying group content of the selected Record node can occur in a given scope in an instance message.

Note

If an ancestor node can occur multiple times, the total occurrences of the selected Record node can be greater than the occurrence range specified by the values of the Group Min Occurs property and this property.

Allowed Values

Edit box value	Description
Non-negative integer	Any value greater than one (1) will enable the underlying content that corresponds to the selected Record node to occur multiple times in an instance message. If you do not want the underlying content to occur more than once, set the value of this property to one (1), or leave it blank. To prevent all occurrences, set the value of this property to zero (0).
"unbounded" "*"	Use this value if you do not know how many loops you might have in an instance message and you do not want to lose any data. An asterisk ("*") is a valid abbreviation for the literal string value "unbounded".
No value	Use this property value to restore the behavior to the default value of one (1).

Default Value

No value, resulting in the default behavior corresponding to a value of one (1).

XSD Persistence

As the value of the maxOccurs attribute of the sequence, choice, or all element within the element that corresponds to the selected Record node.

Note

The literal string "unbounded", and not an asterisk (*), is persisted in the XSD.

Remarks

You can examine and set this property in the Visual Studio Properties window when you select a Record node (including a root Record node) in BizTalk Editor.

Configure this property only for Record nodes that have underlying group content.

The value of this property should always be greater than or equal to the value of the Group Min Occurs property.
