Hi,
I knew that BizTalk 2004 will use XSD schema as Document specification inste
ad of XML like BizTalk 2002. Could any body tell me what is the best way and
 how to migrate the Documents specification from BT2002 to BT2004? Is it pos
sible to migrate the BT2002
Orchestrations to BT2004?
Best regards,
Johnny

Biztalk 2002 comes with the specification files in the XDR format, in BTS
2004 you have the choice to import a BTS 2002 spec file, and transform into
XSD (BTS 2004 supported file), this import is a map that transform the XDR
into XSD, maybe this automatic process doesnt work with your specifications,
in the case of your spec has loops, or adavanced properties in the tags.
In this case, you need to remake manually or automatic using a well formed
XML file.
The orchestations can be imported too, but i recomend, in the most of the
cases, that you reimplements the orchestation th inking in BTS 2004, rather
than BTS 2002, becasuse this 2 products has differents architectures.

there is migration project type in VS.Net for Biztalk that will migrate your
ports, channels, maps and schemas. or you can add a generated item to a
biztalk project and then use the XDR to XSD tool to convert just the schema
file.

orchestrations do not migrate so you will have to rewrite those from
scratch.
