Do I need Excel to be installed on BizTalk server to
create "BAM_LiveData" work book? If not how do I create
Bam_LiveData.xls?

Thanks
Gavin

Yes, you will need Excel XP or 2003 to be installed on the box where you wan
t to deploy Bam infrastructure from.

Hi Derek,
Is it possible to create BAM infrastructure using XML file
instead of Excel?  and then re-point the Live workbook
Excel created by development server to production server?

Hi Gavin,

It is possible to create Bam infrastructure using bam definition xml. Howeve
r, there is no support for re-pointing the "live"
workbook to the production server.

Maybe you can elaborate your scenario a little more to help me understand wh
at you're trying to do. If your development
machine has Excel installed, you can copy the BamConfiguration.xml to the de
velopment box and deploy the Bam
infrastructure using Bam.xls from that box.

Regards,
Derek

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the response, here is my scenario.

We have various BizTalk environments setup, Development,
Testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Production
environment.

We have Office XP installed only on our development server
and we do not want to install Office or Excel on any other
environment as we will need to buy license to install the
same on production.
What I was planning to do was (If possible) to create the
live book and XML on development server and use the XML to
create the infrastructure on other environments. Re-point
the Live Excel created on development to
Testing/UAT/Production. Is that feasible? Look forward for
your advice.

Thanks in advance.
Amar

Hi Amar,

As mentioned, there is no support for re-pointing the "live"
workbook to the production server.

If your development machine has Excel installed, you can copy the BamConfigu
ration.xml to the development box and
deploy the Bam infrastructure using Bam.xls from that box.

Regards,
Derek
