Back in February I and my college Robin did an presentation on ALM and BizTalk for the BizTalk User Group in Stockholm. In the two hour presentation we talked about things like:
-
Pros and cons on distributed version control handling systems and BizTalk (more specially Git).
-
Identifying the right level of automated test – what are the differences between integration and unit tests and how and what should one use when in a BizTalk context.
-
Using NuGet and BizTalk to handle dependencies and packages. How can we use the NuGet infrastructure to handle all BizTalk dependencies and also distribute artifacts like pipeline components within our company and teams?
-
How, in our opinion, are Continuous Integration and Delivery best handled when developing with BizTalk. In the presentation we’re looking at everything from build servers to how to handle BizTalk automated builds and packing with minimal amount of work.
So, now we doing the presentation all over again for the newly started BizTalk User Group in Gothenburg the 24 of Mars. The presentation will be in Swedish and packed with demos.
Hope to see you there!

February 20 many new enhancements on Windows Azure were announced. Also Windows Azure BizTalk Services (or WABS) contained a number of improvements and extensions.
New features
Although this article is about the installation of the February 2014 release and migrating your earlier created BizTalk Services, I’ll first summarize the new features of this version of the SDK.
– EDIFACT Protocol Support and X12 Schema Updates
– Pulling Messages from Service Bus Queues and Topics
– Service Bus Shared Access Signatures (SAS) support with Service Bus Queues and Topics
– BizTalk Adapter Services no longer needs SQL on Premise
– Backup and Restore Support
– Operation Log Support
Download
The installation files can become downloaded from this location:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39087
Besides 32- and 64-bits installers of the SDK, you can also download EDI templates and a zip which contains 2 utilities, namely a BizTalk Map to BizTalk Services Map converter and a tool to migrate your BizTalk 2010 trading partners to BizTalk Services!
Installation
Let’s start the installation by starting WindowsAzureBizTalkServicesSetup-x64.exe.
Accept the license agreement and click Next
Check if all prerequisites are met, select all checkboxes and click Next
As I have already installed the November 2013 SDK, the installer shows which components are already up to date and which components will be upgraded. Click Next to continue.
Navigate to the BizTalk Service in the Windows Azure Management Portal and go to the Access Connection Information dialog.
Part of the installation of this SDK, is the migration of your LoB Relay(s) and LoB Target(s) from your on premise database to your BizTalk Service. Copy the Namespace, Default Issuer and Default Secret of your BizTalk Service and paste them in the Installation Wizard.
Click Install
Another part of the installation is the migration of your local BizTalk Adapter Service configuration
The installation is finished!
Have fun!
