I'd suggest that you just bypass the BTDF behavior and do it yourself. I'm assuming you are on BizTalk 2009 or newer. You can download the MSBuild Extension Pack and add the necessary DLL's to an...

Hi Nikhil, There was a previous discussion along the same lines. It is not built-in functionality. Will you have the other SettingsFileGenerator.xml file when you build the MSI, or will it exist only...

Hi Nikhil, First, thank you very much for your positive comments. It's great to hear that kind of feedback! Second, the easiest way that comes to mind to work off of a deployed SSO app is to automate...

When I'm trying to copy my web services during the MSI build using the BTDF, I'm getting the following error: "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be...

That has to be a result of your entire source code folder structure being too deep. This is just a side effect of that because to build the MSI the files are copied under obj\Debug/Release\redist, so...

As long as you have UsingMasterBindings set to True in your .btdfproj you're using PortBindingsMaster.xml, so PortBindings.xml is just a throwaway, generated file. It doesn't get deleted by the MSI...

I'd like to be able to use the settings spreadsheet to change the value of EnableAllReceiveLocationsOnDeploy on a per environment basis, but it doesn't seem to be working. I created a new setting named...

I'm not sure why you changed the property name when you put it into the spreadsheet. Change EnableReceiveOnDeploy to EnableAllReceiveLocationsOnDeploy. Thanks, Tom

Sorry I wasn't clear. I used a different name because I then used that new property to set the value in the btdfproj file like...

Correct, you can directly override a property using the actual property name. You'll want to completely remove the property from your .btdfproj and allow it to always be set from the settings...

Is there anything else that could override that value? I set the EnableAllReceiveLocationsOnDeploy to false in my settings spreadsheet, the exported settings file correctly...

OK. Unfortunately this is another example of MSBuild's order of evaluation of properties making things harder. When MSBuild loads the .btdfproj and all of its imported targets files, it evaluates the...

Still no luck. Every time it still starts the receive locations. Using some Message statements, it looks like the settings spreadsheet property values aren't available at that point in execution, at...

Please verify that you updated PropsFromEnvSettings to include EnableAllReceiveLocationsOnDeploy. The AfterTargets causes the new target to run immediately after PropsFromEnvSettings is processed, so...

That was the problem. I missed adding EnableAllReceiveLocationsOnDeploy to PropsFromEnvSettings. It's working now. Thanks for all you help! And a not inconsiderable amount of patience.

OK great, you're welcome! Now that you have the property definition working you could try it without the extra target... but I'm pretty sure that you'll have to keep it. Thanks, Tom

Yes, once it started working I actually tried that, but it didn't work without the additional target. Still, it's working now, and I'm happy. Thanks again.
