Hello to all,

I'm wondering if there's a way to bind orchestrations to ports at
deployment time WITHOUT using the BizTalk Explorer in Visual Studio .NET?
It doesn't appear that the BizTalk Administration Console has any options
for this and I can't seem to find any other BizTalk support apps that do
this.  Is BizTalk Explorer only integrated with Visual Studio .NET or is
there a standalone version of it somewhere that I've missed?

Thanks for your help!

Justin

Depends.. If you are prepared to write some code, you should be able to do
this using the Biztalk Explorer OM.

Along those lines, you might want to look at the framework I describe here:

The idea is to use a tool called XmlPreProcess in conjunction with a
spreadsheet (that your operations team maintains, eventually) that defines
the aspects of your binding (& other) files that vary by physical
environment.  (If you download, use the links on the right-hand side to grab
latest.)

The simplest way to do it is to Import a Binding File using the BizTalk
Deployment Wizard.  Of course, you'd have to export a binding file for your
ochestration first.

Paul Somers has developed a Management Tool that allows you to do that as
well (along with lots of other stuff).  You can download it at
