How to Remove a BizTalk Assembly from an Application

  • Article

This topic describes how use the BizTalk Server Administration console or the command line to remove a BizTalk assembly from a BizTalk application. When you do this, the assembly and the artifacts that it includes, such as orchestrations, schemas, and pipelines, are removed from the application and the BizTalk Management database.

Before removing a BizTalk assembly, bear in mind the following important points:

  • When you remove a BizTalk assembly, the assembly file is not automatically removed from the global assembly cache (GAC) or the local file system, if it exists there. You must manually remove it. For instructions, see How to Uninstall an Assembly from the GAC and How to Remove Other Files and Settings for a BizTalk Application.

  • If you remove a BizTalk assembly that includes a pipeline, any send ports in the same application that use the pipeline will be reset to use the default, PassThruTransmit pipeline.

  • You cannot remove a BizTalk assembly on which other artifacts depend. You must first remove the dependent artifacts. Then you can remove the BizTalk assembly.
