Application Deployment Steps
1
Configure each assembly with strong name
2
Set application deployment properties
3
Build the application
4
Deploy the application
5
Create physical send ports and receive locations
6
Enable ports and enlist the orchestration
How BizTalk Uses Strong Names
Strong Name
Assigns digital signature
Provides integrity check
Guarantees uniqueness
Prevents version override
Configuring BizTalk Deployment Properties
Deployment Properties
SQL Server
Configuration database
Application name
Redeploy (true or false)
Install to GAC (true or false)
BizTalk Application Deployment Tools
Method
Visual Studio
Usage
Developer tool (testing)
Use the redeploy option to override same version
Administrator tool (production)
Command-Line
Deployment
Deploy assemblies
Import and export bindings
Deploy multiple assemblies to multiple servers
BizTalk
Administration
Console
Developer and IT Pro tool
Import and export bindings
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

Exporting and Importing a Binding File
Binding Files
BizTalk Server
Useful for moving
configuration information
from one physical
environment to another
Contains port

Can contain logical-tophysical port binding
information when
using orchestrations

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
