Lets Talk Biztalk https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/nmittal/feed.xml by Nidhi Mittal Wed, 17 Apr 2019 03:42:58 GMT en-US hourly 1 Adding reference to another BizTalk assembly while using BTSTask for deployment https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/nmittal/adding-reference-to-another-biztalk-assembly-while-using-btstask-for-deployment Thu, 07 May 2009 15:34:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nmittal/2009/05/07/adding-reference-to-another-biztalk-assembly-while-using-btstask-for-deployment/ Having reference to another assembly is quite common scenario and so is using command line utility to deploy assemblies in production environments where we usually do not have Visual Studio installed.

For deploying assembly, we need to use "ImportApp" command with BTSTask. This command deploys the artifacts inside MSI file and if the application being specified isn't present, it creates it. Also, this command automatically adds reference to other applications. We just need to make sure:

  1. The BizTalk application whose reference is being added should be already deployed.
  2. If the BizTalk application being imported already exists, we would need to use “/Overwrite” switch in Importapp command. [Please see  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561691.aspx for details about the switches that can be used with this command.

 

]]> Silent Installation and Configuration of BizTalk Server https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/nmittal/silent-installation-and-configuration-of-biztalk-server Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:37:00 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nmittal/2009/04/30/silent-installation-and-configuration-of-biztalk-server/ Often there is a need to automate the process of installing and configuring BizTalk Server. For this, we can use the command line tools. However, most common mistake is to assume that setup.exe command will perform the installation as well as the configuration.

We need to keep in mind that we have "setup.exe" to only "install" the components specified in configuration file. In order to configure BizTalk from commandline, we have "configuration.exe".

As a prerequisite to this, we need to

  • Install and configure required BizTalk components using GUI.
  • Using BizTalk configuration wizard, we need to export the configuration file. This file needs to be specified while running setup.exe and configuration.exe

Detailed steps to perform silent installation of BizTalk Server:

 

1. Open a command window.

2. Type: setup.exe /CommandName Option. Press ENTER.

Note Command Options are documented in the BizTalk Installation Guides available at the Microsoft Download Center: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

 

 

Detailed steps to perform silent configuration of BizTalk Server, you can use the steps below:

 

1. Open a command window.

2. Type: configuration.exe /CommandLineParameter. Press ENTER.
