The DeleteParty sample demonstrates how to delete a specified party.

Warning

Deployment scripts should be removed after deployment if not needed. Administration scripts and other scripts that must remain should be secured by ACL’s and closely monitored.

Note

Before you can delete a party, you must first create one. One way to do this is to run the PartyResolution (BizTalk Server Sample) sample.

Prerequisites

You must have BizTalk Server administrative privileges to use the administrative objects in this sample.
The Windows PowerShell script requires the Windows PowerShell execution policy to allow script execution. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies.

Caution

This example or guidance references sensitive information, such as a connection string or a username and password. Never hardcode these values in your code, and make sure that you protect confidential data by using the most secure authentication available. For more information, see the following documentation:

#===================#
#=== Main Script ===#
#===================#

#=== Make sure the ExplorerOM assembly is loaded ===#

[void] [System.reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM")

#=== Connect to the BizTalk Management database ===#

$Catalog = New-Object Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer
$Catalog.ConnectionString = "SERVER=.;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Integrated Security=SSPI"

#=======================================#
#=== If no party name is specified   ===#
#=== just list the parties.          ===#
#=======================================#

if ($args[0] -eq $null)
{
  Write-Host `r`nNo party name provided for delete operation.`r`n`r`nListing Parties on local Biztalk Server:

  $Catalog.Parties | Format-List Name
}

#==========================================#
#=== Delete the specified party by name ===#
#==========================================#

else
{
  $party = $Catalog.Parties[$args[0]]
  Write-Host `r`nRemoving Party named `"($args[0])`"`r`n
  $catalog.RemoveParty($party)
  $catalog.SaveChanges()
}

The script example expects a single party name to be passed as a command line argument. It looks for that party by name and attempts to delete it. The script will list all parties on the local Biztalk server if no commandline argument is passed to it. Here is example output from the script:

PS C:\> .\DeletePart.ps1

No party name provided for delete operation.

Listing Parties on local Biztalk Server:

Name : Party1

Name : Party3

Name : Party2

PS C:\> .\DeletePart.ps1 Party3

Removing Party named " Party3 "

PS C:\> .\DeletePart.ps1

No party name provided for delete operation.

Listing Parties on local Biztalk Server:

Name : Party1

Name : Party2
