Hi Guys,

Well, the project (Microsoft CRM - Syspro Integration) that I have been
working on is finally over. I have the entire system up and running at my
side. Now I have to deploy it at our client's site and I need some help with
that. Here are the details:

My office machine has Windows XP Professional OS and I did not have another
machine running Windows 2000 Server OS which is required to install
Microsoft-CRM Server and Microsoft BizTalk Server when I started this
project. So I used Microsoft Virtual PC (VPC) in which I have Windows 2000
Server OS running. I installed Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft CRM Server,
Microsoft BizTalk Server, Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for SQL Server, and
Microsoft Visual Studio .Net on that. Thus the entire development is done on
VPC and now I want to shift everything from VPC to our client's server. Here
is the list of things that I need to transfer:

1. Temporary tables, Triggers, and Stored Procedures from VPC-SQL Server
2.  Jobs from VPC-BizTalk Adapter for SQL Server
3. Channels and Message Ports from VPC-BizTalk Messaging Manager
4. Installed Windows Services (developed using C#)

I know that, I have to install fresh copies of Microsoft SQL Server,
Microsoft CRM Server, and Microsoft BizTalk Server on our client's server.
But how can I transfer all the development work I have done at my side so fa
r
using these tools?

Also do I have to install Microsoft Visual Studio .Net on our client's
server for the Windows Service to work?

Bottom Line: I want to transfer the entire integration system from VPC to
the Client's Server. How should I do this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Prasad

Assuming that you don't plan make an changes to your BTS solution on the
client server  - check out Biztalk Deployment Wizard. It can help you with
deploying your BTS assemblies. You will need to create a binding file from
your VPC then use it on the client server.

When you wrote BizTalk Deployment Wizard, did you mean BizTalk SEED Wizard?
Because I dont have a tool installed under BizTalk Server 2002 which says
BizTalk Deployment Wizard.

Prasad,

Opps...
Since you mentioned Visual Studio.Net  I assumed that you are talkng about
Biztalk 2004. Sorry for confusion.
Try using Biztalk 2002 Seed Wizard to create SEED package and then import it
to the client server.

Well, we rivisited the issue after almost 2 months. I quickly looked into
SEED Wizard Tool available under BTS 2002. My first impression is that the
SEED packages are useful when you want to share XML documents with your
client/partner for your business process.

In our case, we dont want that. We have the whole integration system working
at our side, on out server (i.e. VPC). We just want to deploy it on our
client's server so that it will be operation at the client's site.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Prasad
