When an itinerary is created using the Itinerary Designer you normally deploy the Itinerary with the ESB Itinerary Import Utility. This utility is located under the \bin directory of the BizTalk ESB Toolkit and is named EsbImportUtil.exe. It can be used to publish or deploy the itinerary XML into the ESBItineraryDB database. Unfortunately, the tool is not very convenient to use because you have to deploy the Itineraries manually.
Another option is to use the Deployment Framework for BizTalk. The Deployment Framework for BizTalk eliminates the pain associated with BizTalk application deployments, and goes far beyond BizTalk’s out-of-the-box deployment functionality because you can also use it to deploy ESB itineraries.
Steps
The Deployment Framework can automatically deploy your ESB itineraries during deployment. Before an itinerary can be deployed, you must manually export it to an XML file using the Itinerary Designer’s XML Exporter.
1. Set the IncludeEsbItineraries property to true
The property may be included in any PropertyGroup, but is commonly placed in the first PropertyGroup in the project file.
<PropertyGroup>
...
<IncludeEsbItineraries>true</IncludeEsbItineraries>
...
</PropertyGroup>.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
2. Add an EsbItineraries ItemGroup
The following is a typical example that properly follows the common ItemGroup structure:
<ItemGroup>
<EsbItineraries Include="MyItinerary1.xml">
<LocationPath>..\Itineraries</LocationPath>
</EsbItineraries>
</ItemGroup>
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
If you have more than one ESB itinerary, then repeat the <EsbItineraries> element for each file
(usually within the same ItemGroup).
Note
The Microsoft ESB Toolkit does not include a tool to undeploy itineraries, so the Deployment Framework cannot undeploy them. Once deployed, they remain deployed.

Last week Aaron Landgraf from MuleSoft published a lengthy blog article “10 Reasons to Walk from BizTalk” trying to showcase MuleSoft is better than BizTalk. I felt some of the facts are completely wrong, misleading and one sided. I always welcome competition, healthy competition is good for innovation, but playing marketing games and bad mouthing […]

When you start developing with the ESB Toolkit it can be difficult to debug an error in an itinerary. When an exception occurs, you can see the error in the Event Viewer, in the BizTalk Administration Console (if you don’t use the ESB Exception Management Framework) ore in the Management Portal but sometimes this information is not enough because you want to see which steps are already done in the itinerary and want to trace exactly when and where the error occurs.
Fortunately you can enable tracing in the ESB Toolkit and trace the steps inside the Itinerary.
The following information can be traced in the ESB Toolkit:
- If the Itinerary could be resolved
- Which Itineray is attached to the message
- What the Document Message Type is
- If a Resolver or Adapter Provider is stored in the Cache
- Activities inside an Itinerary Service
- Initializing
- Resolver information
- Adapter information
Use a tool like DebugView to see the trace output. DebugView is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP.
How to configure diagnostics and trace information
To enable the Microsoft BizTalk ESB Toolkit trace switch, add the following <switches> element to the system.diagnostics section of the machine.config file.
<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<add name="BizTalkESBToolkit" value="4"/>
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }
Note
In every version of the ESB Toolkit is the switch name a little different. In previous versions it was "BizTalkESBToolkit" with the version number appended to it but in BizTalk 2013 it is only "BizTalkESBToolkit". Unfortunately, the documentation of the ESB Toolkit is not updated every version so beware that if you copy and paste the switches element from the documentation you have to change the switch name.
