Installing the Examples on Your Machine

To work with the four example solutions in this chapter, you need to first install the examples. To do this, copy the Chapter16 directory from the book's CD on to your hard drive. All examples have been configured as if installed on your hard drive in c:ookChp16.... If for any reason you are unable to create and install in the directory as indicated, you will need to open up each of the orchestration schedule sample files and fix the path to your installed path. The examples also assume that you have a directory c: emp in your hard drive, if you do not, you should create one at this time.

You can use the utility BTConfAssistant.exe to install all the BizTalk Messaging objects onto your machine. This utility, however, does not create the receive functions. The utility is provided as part of the BizTalk SDK in the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft BizTalk ServerSDKMessaging SamplesBTConfigAssistantEXEor in a similar directory where you have installed BizTalk Server. Invoke this utility from the directory specified. Select File, Import from the menu, and browse to the file in ..Chp16Installation InstructionsExample 1BizTalkMessaging_ObjectsBTConfig_Example1.xml. This file contains all the BizTalk Messaging objects used in the first example in the chapter, with the exception of the receive functions. One disclaimer though: the BTConfAssistant.exe utility is supplied as a sample in the SDK and is not a part of the product. The BizTalk team does not guarantee its functionality. The source code for the utility is also provided in the SDK; you can choose to improve the utility.
