I think you're relying upon your past experience with the Xml Disassembler, and the Flat File Disassembler has different behavior. All of the steps you've gone thru work when dealing with Xml Files in an envelope pattern and the Xml Disassembler. However, since the Flat File Disassembler has no property for the Envelope Schema, just a Document Schema property, it inherently understands Enveloping and Debatching. All it requires is a Document schema that is annotated with the correct Child Delimiter (Hex, CRLF, Postfix in our case) and it will debatch a flat file into Child Records without needing to know anything about the Envelope. Additionally, this same Document Schema will fail when you try to test it against a batch flat file containing multiple records when you try to unit test it in Visual Studio using the Validate Instance tool. The appropriate testing tool to use is FFDasm.exe, which is one of the Pipeline tools; read about them here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa547988.aspx
Theres a BizTalk Sample for Debatching Flat Files, you can find it here:
