Export BizTalk Configuration Data
The ability to import and export
configuration data is an administration function key to any enterprise solution
environment. BizTalk
Utilities meets this need by providing separate import and
export components that facilitate the management of both BizTalk
Utilities and
BizTalk Server configuration settings.
The flow diagram below simply
illustrates how BizTalk
Utilities allows for the export of configuration
information:
Two separate BizTalk Utilities components enable the exporting of
configuration settings:
1.
The BizTalk
Utilities Export Wizard provides a simple set of
dialog boxes that guide you through the steps of exporting select configuration
data for your BizTalk
Utilities components. The image below displays one of the
sample screens:
2.
Configuration settings for BizTalk Server can be exported
using the Export BizTalk Configuration Wizard. Through a step-by-step process,
similar to the one described for the previous component, you are able to output
configuration settings for channels, envelopes, and receive functions. As shown
in the following illustration, the Wizard even allows you to identify exactly
which parts of the BizTalk environment you want included in your configuration
file.
Summary
Being able to export configuration
information for both your core BizTalk Server environment, as well as the parts
of it extended by the numerous BizTalk
Utilities components, is important . It
can assist with the re-deployment of BizTalk solutions, but, more importantly,
is a critical part of any disaster recovery plan.

Utilities.
