      Hi,
      How can I move the biztalk solution from dev server to production server? I thought I can move by copy and past the solution folder to production server, then build and deploy there. Since production server has only BizTalk, so no VS or SQL(remote), I am not sure how to move. I couldnt find any document about it on online too.


      Thank you,

      Siva

      Hello Siva.

      You should on your development environment right-click the Application you want to deploy, then choose “Export” and then “MSI File”. This will make you a Microsoft Installation Package, that you can move to your production environment, where you make a import/installation.

      You should read about binding files, which enables you to handle the differences in configurations between environments.

          Note: with your MSI you have to do two steps:

          1) Run it as MSI to install artifcacts on Window and in GAC
          2) Import it into the Biztalk Admin Console so populate the Biztalk Mgmt Database

          Here’s a big trick I learned the hard way.  You can attach .NET C# .DLLs as a resource to your application, but when you re-export, it doesn’t grab the latest .DLLs from the disk (i.e. somewhere it is keeping the old copies).  You have to drop the resource, and re-add it to get the latest .DLL.   So if you change a non-Biztalk .DLL resource, remember this step before you migrate again.
