What Is a BizTalk Application?

Messaging ComponentsReceive portsReceive locationsSend portsAdapters

BizTalk Administration Console

Application Deployment Steps

Set application deployment properties2

Build the application3

Deploy the application4

Create physical send ports and receive locations5

Configure each assembly with strong name1

Enable ports and enlist the orchestration6

How BizTalk Uses Strong Names

Strong Name

Assigns digital signatureProvides integrity checkGuarantees uniquenessPrevents version override

Configuring BizTalk Deployment Properties

Deployment Properties

SQL ServerConfiguration databaseApplication nameRedeploy (true or false)Install to GAC (true or false)

BizTalk Application Deployment Tools

Method Usage

Visual Studio Developer tool (testing)Use the redeploy option to override same version

Command-Line Deployment

Administrator tool (production)Deploy assembliesImport and export bindingsDeploy multiple assemblies to multiple servers

BizTalk Administration Console

Developer and IT Pro toolImport and export bindingsExport applications as Windows Installer (MSI) packages

Demo: Deploying the Adventure Works Application

Exporting and Importing a Binding File

Binding File

Binding Files

Useful for moving configuration information from one physical environment to another Contains port configuration settingsCan contain logical-to-physical port binding information whenusing orchestrations

Managing Assembly Versioning

Guidelines

Use separate assembles for artifacts that are subject to changeGroup artifacts together that must be versioned togetherFor schemas, change target namespace when using multiple versions

Considerations

Verify existing deployed version numbersConfirm the version used in a binding fileUn-enlist any dependent orchestrations
