  • Deployment package path: Mandatory. Path of the BizTalk Application package in zip format, which can be selected from Linked artifacts.

Advanced Options

  • Start application: Specifies whether the application should be started after it is deployed. It is checked by default. If this option is unchecked, application will not be started.

  • Add application references: Optional. Comma-separated list of referenced applications.

Update an existing BizTalk Server Application

Appends changes, such as schemas, to an already running application. It does not require a full redeploy of the application.

Parameters

  • Deployment package path: Mandatory. Path of the BizTalk Application package in zip format, which can be selected from Linked artifacts.

Advanced Options

  • Stop referenced application(s): Lets the user decide if application(s) that refer to the application being updated should be stopped during the update.

If this option is unchecked, the referenced application(s) will not be stopped during update operation.

Install BizTalk Server Application

Note

Deployment package path parameter is deprecated for the Install operation, and should not be used. Please use Application name parameter instead.
