3. Raise your hands! How many uses a Version Control System (VCS)?
How many uses Team Foundation Server for VCS?
How many works with Continuous Integration (CI)?
How many uses Team Foundation Server for CI?
How many has automated deployments?

Build machine
Web browser
En gemensam databas som innehåller allt från källkod till tasks etc.
A TFS Build Definition dictates
What part of the source tree to monitor
What should trigger a build
The actual build process and the steps
How long history to keep

8. Build demo – Simple Build
What you will see
Defined a TFS Build Definition for a BizTalk Solution
Trigger build and check build output and status
Build - Simple
Sätta upp en ny build template
Gå igenom de olika stegen i en build template
Byta till x86
Ange share som deploy area (\\ \builds)
Starta bygge
Kolla build output
Kolla build rapport via visual studio men också via webb
Uppmärksamma på byggnummer

9. We need a BizTalk “deployable package” and some bindings!
Problem
Installing into BizTalk requires scripting or manual work
When installation into BizTalk we need to add things in the right order
A lot of separate dlls creates a problem …
Bindings in BizTalk differs between environments
Solution
BizTalk MSIs have most needed functionality built-in!
BtsMsiTask can generate a MSIs using MSBuild without first having to install
Xml Transform task from
Fråga hur många som använder MSI och som känner till BtsMsiTask?

10. Build demo - BtsMsiTask
What you will see
Build a BizTalk deployable MSI as part of TFS build process
Create envrionment specific binding files using a .NET standard templating language
Surfa till BtsMsiTask ( och installera BtsMsiTask
Visa project filen som jag har lagt till
Lägga till projekt i byggtemplate
Bygg och titta på output som den får

13. Demo – RM in 5 seconds What you will see
Add your own tools needed for BizTalk deployment
Create users, roles and define access in the application
Define release templates for each environment
Define workflows for what roles that need to approve or reject release
Setup and run an artifact release
Setup and run a binding release
Administration: Visa koppling till TFS, användare och roller
Paths: Server och olika miljöer och en möjlighet att bestämma vem som skall kunna godkänna vad
Inventory: Att man kan lägga till olika verktyg. Visa att vi har lagt till två olika saker.
Gå igenom tools och hur man kan lägga till egna. Visa att jag har lagt till btstask samt det script som vi kommer använda för att starta om host instancer.
