I am using BizTalk Deployment Framework (BTDF) for deploying my BizTalk solution. If I have made any changes to BizTalk bindings, I export them from BizTalk Administration Console and replace my PortBindingsMaster.xml bindings file (created by BTDF) with my exported bindings. I think many of you do the same. The problem is that when I do the export, BizTalk mixes up the order of XML nodes in bindings file, so when I am trying to merge with my source control, I'm getting over 9000 conflicts.
Is there any cool way to merge these BizTalk bindings?
Binding files are XML files that describe artifacts in a BizTalk Management database and the relationship between these artifacts. Binding files are useful for exporting configuration information from one BizTalk configuration database and importing this information into another BizTalk configuration database.
Right-click the application whose bindings you want to export, point to Export, and then click Bindings. On the Export Bindings page, in Export to file, type the absolute path of the . xml file to which to export the bindings. Ensure that Export all bindings from the current application is selected, and then click OK.
What is a binding file? A binding file is an . xml file that contains binding information for each BizTalk orchestration, pipeline, map, or schema in the scope of a BizTalk assembly, application, or group.
You can create bindings by using the BizTalk Server Administration console. What is a binding file? A binding file is an .xml file that contains binding information for each BizTalk orchestration, pipeline, map, or schema in the scope of a BizTalk assembly, application, or group.
“ BizTalk Binding Exporter Tool ” is a simple tool that will suppress the absence of advanced binding file generation capabilities in the BizTalk Server Administration Console allowing you to generate and export a binding file from BizTalk Applications in an intuitive and easy way.
Import the application .msi file into the BizTalk groups and applications where you want to deploy it. The bindings in the file are automatically applied to the assembly on import.
If the assembly has early bound ports or dynamic ports, and you changed the port configuration in the BizTalk Server Administration console, the settings will be lost when you update the assembly with an assembly having the same version number. You can export a binding file for the assembly you are going to update.
Too much trouble trying to merge these. Get comfortable with the structure of a binding file and extract the parent node you need and copy it over to PortBindingsMaster.
The other problem with merging is if you use settingsfilegenerator, you'll need to merge that which can be potentially everywhere in PortBindingsMaster.
