BizTalk 2013 - BizTalk Deployment Framework (BTDF) 5.1 beta 2

The BizTalk deployment framework is being so greatly maintained by Thomas F. Abraham and Scott Colestock that i can proudly say there is another update.

After raising a request for an update to include additional shortcuts to be able to update SSO / Bindings information without doing a full deploy (which was possible with some custom command line tools), i am really happy that 2 days after my request, it has been implemented, and a day later a new release is out there;

Release 5.1 beta 2 (supports BizTalk 2013);

Change history (and new features).

How to migrate from an earlier version

 

Keep up the great job!

 

- download the new version

- uninstall – install

- create a new build

- install and then…watch the new features Glimlach (only what i requested is shown, there plenty more where that came from!)

So importing the bindings, updating the SSO settings is now a matter of updating the SettingsFileGenerator (overwriting the file) and click on the particular shortcut.

As you would have to do in the previous version by hand;

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Deployment Framework for BizTalk\5.0\Framework\DeployTools\SSOSettingsFileImport.exe" "<project>" /settingsFile:"C:\Projects\Exported_LocalSettings.xml" /userGroupName:"BizTalk Application Users" /adminGroupName:"BizTalk Server Administrators"

Focus and innovation - recap of the last 2 years

It's been a long time since my last post. Hereby a partial explanation for that, with the note that this blog will remain active for the purpose of being a resource for historical references. My IT career started with programming, and adventures within holland, as well as overseas. When I realised programming is something you can specify, I figured that providing added value is crucial for a long term career and decided to focus on process centric roles. I started with webservice integration and eventually from that to process integration using BizTalk. The great feeling when discussing high level processes and implementing solutions within days, even highly scalable and interfacing with LOB systems is great. After several years of implementing solutions like these, I started questioning if all of this work was justified by the business case, if the solution was actually contributing, if the choices had been valid. In other words, I needed to understand the choices made. When...

BizTalk Pub/sub vs Topics based routing–discussion

My colleagues and I had a brief discussion about the subject ‘Topics’ and what it brings… Do you all agree/disagree with the following statement: topic-based pub-sub messaging doesn’t really exist in BizTalk “In my opinion; I disagree, as BizTalk offers the following 'out-of-the-box' • Message Routing (f.e build in context properties like message type, trading partner, operation etc) • Content Routing (f.e. promoted properties, message inspection in orchestrations/pipelines icw orchestration logic)” My colleague Rene Brauwers Here my 2 cents…. I agree that it exists...however the current offerings in BizTalk are tightly coupled, making the usage far from perfect. When doing content based routing on custom fields (promoted properties), you will be making the solution message-coupled; Your custom message property schema is deployed, and the message filter on these fields have a direct relationship with this property schema. Making any change to this schema will g...
