How to Deploy and Undeploy Policies and Vocabularies

You can use the Rule Engine Deployment Wizard to deploy or undeploy a policy.

In the Rule Engine Deployment Wizard, when you try to deploy, only published policy versions are shown in the drop-down list. When you try to undeploy, only deployed policy versions are shown in the drop-down list.

To deploy or undeploy a policy

1. Click Start, point to Program Files, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click Business Rules Engine Deployment Wizard.

   Note

   On a system that supports User Account Control (UAC), you may need to run the tool with Administrative privileges. To do this, right-click the application, and then select Run as administrator.

2. On the Rules Engine Deployment Wizard welcome page, click Next.

3. Select either Deploy Policy or Undeploy Policy, and then click Next.

4. From the drop-down lists, select an available SQL Server computer and database, and then click Next.

   Note

   You can only deploy to the rule store database that you are configured against. An attempt to deploy to a different DB will give an error.

5. From the drop-down list, select a policy, and then click Next.

   Note

   When you try to deploy, only published policy versions are shown in the drop-down list. When you try to undeploy, only deployed policy versions are shown in the drop-down list.

6. Review the server, database, and policy information, and then click Next.

7. Watch the progress of the deployment or undeployment. When it is finished, click Next.

8. Review the completion status of the deployment or undeployment, and then click Finish.

Note

You can also deploy or undeploy a policy version from within the Business Rule Composer by right-clicking the policy version and then clicking Deploy or Undeploy.
