Module 4: Deploying and Managing BizTalk Applications

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

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

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

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

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

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

Configuring BizTalk Deployment Properties SQL Server Configuration database Application name Redeploy (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 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

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

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

Managing Apps with the BizTalk Administration Console

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

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

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

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

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
