Configure BizTalk Server 2006 R2 EDI to batch outgoing EDI messages

Scenario

Example from MSFT:  You work for Contoso Winery. Your ERP system outputs invoice messages using a custom XML Schema. You need to turn these custom XML messages into EDI messages to send to a trading partner. The trading partner is located in Ireland, so the EDI messages must be EDIFACT. Also the trading partner requests that the invoices be sent in batches of three (3). In this scenario, you will deploy the artifacts necessary to turn the XML messages into EDI, and you will configure EDI batching for the trading partner.
