Deploy TIBCO Rendezvous ports and assemblies

Overview

Using BizTalk Server, you can duplicate ports and assemblies on a target computer. The wizard exports the send ports/receive location configuration into an XML file.

You use BizTalk Server to do the following tasks:

• Deploy or remove BizTalk Server assemblies in a BizTalk Configuration database.

• Install or uninstall the assemblies in the global assembly cache (GAC).

• Import or export BizTalk Server assembly binding information to and from binding files.

  For information about how to use BizTalk Server to deploy ports and assemblies, see How to Export Bindings for a BizTalk Application.

Note

Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for TIBCO Rendezvous only requires that you have Visual Studio on a source (development) computer. Visual Studio is not required on the production computer.

Confirm your setup

Before you use the BizTalk Server to import a binding file, confirm that the folders for the responses exist, and that they are identical on the new computer, or you must edit the binding file.

Clean the target computer

Deployment overwrites the receive location configuration. When you deploy a binding file (and assembly) on a target computer, the send ports and receive locations are replaced with those in the XML binding file when they are imported.

Before you import, remove send ports and receive locations bound to the orchestration.

If you do not have Microsoft Visual Studio installed on the target computer, you can remove the ports by running these scripts:

• \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION>SDK\Samples\Admin\WMI\Remove Send Port\VBScript\RemoveSendPort.vbs

• \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION>SDK\Samples\Admin\WMI\Remove Receive Port\VBScript\RemoveReceivePort.vbs

For example, at a command prompt, run:

cscript RemoveSendPort.vbs \<Send port name\>
