BTSnapshot Beta Released
Jon Flanders released a beta of a very promissing tool: BTSnapshot. I haven't tried it out but it seems to solve one of my primary issues when doing BizTalk development: the deployment process during the development cycle. Nice work Jon, I'll check it out as soon as I can find some time!
In an attempt to deal with the typical BizTalk development cycle I have built a tool - and I am releasing it for general use. I call this tool BTSnapShot. You can download it here. The idea behind BTSnapshot is to take a "snapshot" of a current BizTalk "application" and save all the information and assemblies necessary to recreate that "application".
The idea behind this tool was to create a concept of a BizTalk "application", which is essentially all the orchestrations, ports, parties, policies, vocabularies, and other artifacts which are currently configured via a particular configuration database. The default behavior of the BTSnapshot tool is to create a directory that contains all the artifacts (both assemblies and binding files) and then to "unwind" and undeploy all those artifacts from the configuration database. full post here
