BizTalk Server 2006 makes it simple to add environment specific binding files to an Application. By adding environment specific binding files to an Application, you can easily select a binding file during deployment. So if you have a Dev, AIT, and SIT environment you can have three binding files all built into the same MSI package.

To add environment specific binding files to an Application, just follow these simple steps.
1. Inside BizTalk Server Administration, export your binding files (you’ll need to change your setting for each environment).
