| Raju,
The differences are many. One of the best starting points for an overview
is the following white paper.

| Hi Raju,
I've migrated a couple of BTS2002 solutions to BTS2004. Here are my
thoughts on the process:
The automated tools are not really much help. In particular the schema
import converts all the schema elements to complex types which are difficult
to work with and generally unnecessary.
If you approach the migration as a refactoring effort you'll manage quite
nicely. Take your original solutions and use them as blueprints for the new
versions.
Orchestrations are relatively straightforward to convert manually but you
should definitely check out the new shapes and consider refactoring to make
use of them where appropriate.
For Schema's and Maps it's best just to get the old version and the new
side-by-side and recreate them manually.
For the ports and channels you'll need to do a little re-learning since 2004
does these a bit differently - the principles are all the same but the
implementation has changed.
Most of the other differences are in the development tools which are now
mostly integrated into VS.NET. These are much better than the previous
version and, from a developer's standpoint, make the upgrade worthwhile.
Best of luck!
