Microsoft BizTalk Server Adapter Migration Toolkit
Once in a while some of my students ask if they can
reuse the components which they have built in the previous version of BizTalk
Server. Unfortunately the answer is no; but there's some good news for them: the
BizTalk
Server Adapter Migration Toolkit (AMT) is released!
AMT is designed to simplify migration of BizTalk
2002 solutions to BizTalk 2004 by providing three key pieces:
-
The generation of wrappers for BizTalk 2002
Application Integration Components (AICs) so that they can be used as BizTalk
2004 adapters and pipeline components;
-
The wrapper for BizTalk 2002 custom
preprocessors so that they can be used as BizTalk 2004 pipeline components;
and
-
Implementation of BizTalk 2002 IInterchange to
facilitate migration of BizTalk 2002 applications that submitted messages
bypassing specific transports directly into BizTalk.
Please, read readme
file for more details.
