2. Overview Lesson 1: Deploying a BizTalk Application
Lesson 2: Managing a BizTalk Application

3. Lesson 1: Deploying a BizTalk Application
How Deployment Works
What Is a BizTalk Application?
Application Deployment Steps
How BizTalk Uses Strong Names
Configuring BizTalk Deployment Properties
BizTalk Application Deployment Tools
Demo: Deploying the Adventure Works Application

4. Non-BizTalk Assemblies Configuration Database
How Deployment Works
Non-BizTalk Assemblies
Global Assembly Cache
Install
BizTalk Server
BizTalk Assemblies
Maps
Schemas Orchestrations
Pipelines
Register
Configuration Database

5. What Is a BizTalk Application?
BizTalk Artifacts
Schemas
Maps
Pipelines
Orchestrations
BizTalk Administration Console
Messaging Components
Receive ports
Receive locations
Send ports
Adapters

6. Application Deployment Steps
Configure each assembly with strong name 1
Set application deployment properties 2
Build the application 3
Deploy the application 4
Create physical send ports and receive locations 5
Enable ports and enlist the orchestration 6

7. How BizTalk Uses Strong Names
Assigns digital signature
Provides integrity check
Guarantees uniqueness
Prevents version override

8. Configuring BizTalk Deployment Properties
SQL Server
Configuration database
Application name
Redeploy (true or false)
Install to GAC (true or false)

9. 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 assemblies
Import and export bindings
Deploy multiple assemblies to multiple servers
BizTalk Administration Console
Developer and IT Pro tool
Export applications as Windows Installer (MSI) packages

10. Demo: Deploying the Adventure Works Application
In this demonstration, you will see how to:
Assign a strong name to a project
Configure the Application Deployment Property
Build a BizTalk Server Solution
Deploy a BizTalk Server Solution
View the application in the BizTalk Administration Console

11. Lesson 2: Managing BizTalk Applications
Managing Apps with the BizTalk Administration Console
Exporting and Importing a Binding File
Migrating Applications using MSI Packages
Managing Applications from a Command Prompt
Managing Assembly Versioning
Demo: Managing the Adventure Works Application
BizTalk Hosts and Host Instances

12. Managing Apps with the BizTalk Administration Console

13. Exporting and Importing a Binding File
Binding Files
BizTalk Server
Useful for moving configuration information from one physical environment to another
Contains port configuration settings
Can contain logical-to-physical port binding information when using orchestrations
Binding File

14. Migrating Applications Using MSI Packages
Development
Production
BizTalk Server
Install
Existing Configuration
Install
MSI Package
Install
Import

15. Managing Applications from a Command Prompt
BTSTask Features
List artifacts and applications
Add and remove artifacts and applications
Export and import MSI packages
Export and import binding information
C:\> BTSTask RemoveResource /ApplicationName:LabA /Server:BTS10-PLATFORM

16. Managing Assembly Versioning
Guidelines
Use separate assembles for artifacts that are subject to change
Group artifacts together that must be versioned together
For schemas, change target namespace when using multiple versions
Considerations
Verify existing deployed version numbers
Confirm the version used in a binding file
Un-enlist any dependent orchestrations

17. Demo: Managing the Adventure Works Application
In this demonstration, you will see how to:
Import a binding file using the BizTalk Administration Console
Start the Application
Export the application to an MSI package
Remove the application by using a command prompt
