Update to BTSnapshot

Saturday, February 26, 2005 8:12:19 PM (GMT Standard Time, UTC+00:00)

Uploaded a new version BTSnaphot today.  Fixes:

1) Ignores the new MSMQ and WSE adapter property schema assemblies which are deployed in BizTalk *not* as BizTalk system assemblies (which I find a little mystifying since those adapters are from Microsoft - but anyway :)).

2) Copies assemblies that are used by maps.  Assemblies which hold the types used by "linked functoids" aren't actually added as .NET level references (which is why the earlier versions of the tool didn't pick them up).  Now I load the extension XML and copy all the assemblies needed by the map into the application folder.

Any feature requests, comments, and bug reports are always welcome.

Nice tool, thanks. I have a request.

I snapped my db and got the dlls and bindings. However, I only got one of several rule policies. One policy if called from a callRules shape. The other is called from an expression shape since its name is determined dynamically. Now I understand that you cannot determine from the orchestration the policy that will be called from the expression. It would be nice if I could specify that all deployed policies be captured, or a specified set or... you get the picture.

Yes - that is one of the thornier issues to deal with. I'll see what I can do there. Thanks for the input.

Jon,

I've downloaded BTSnapshot since it is highly recommended, but I can't find the documentation for this tool (although I saw it once in a presentation.)

Can you provide a link to the document for BTSnapshot listing the options and implications of each option.

Thanks
Greg.
