When trying to use parameterized biml file using CallBimlScript like this <#=CallBimlScript("VariableTest.biml", "variableValue") #> And VariableTest.Biml looks like this <#@ property name="variableValue" type="String" required="true" #> <#= variableValue #> Biml generation will fail with the following error Expanding BIML Error 0 Template host did not supply the required property: variableValue . C:\path\VariableTest.biml 0 0 Parse. There were errors during compilation. See compiler output for more information. The error is because of bugs inside biml engine. To work around this problem, Set required="false" like so <#@ property name="variableValue" type="String" required="false" #> <#= variableValue #> The parameter passing will now work. If you need parameter validation, you have to implement it yourself.

Why is does not my live Mist Biml script generate packages, even though i can see the expanded packages in the Preview Expanded Biml script? In my case, the loop creating the packages was based on tables generated from another live script. This "double-hop" live scripting is supported. The key to success is using tiers <#@ template language="C#" tier="1" #> <#@ template language="C#" tier="2" #> <#@ template language="C#" tier="3" #>
