This topic assumes that you are following a common convention in BizTalk development where each assembly contains a single type of BizTalk artifact (e.g. an assembly for schemas, an assembly for orchestrations, etc.). If you are combining multiple types of BizTalk artifacts into a single assembly, see Assemblies with Multiple Artifact Types.
To deploy one or more assemblies that contain orchestrations, edit your Deployment Framework for BizTalk project file (.btdfproj) as follows:
1. Set the IncludeOrchestrations property to true
The property may be included in any PropertyGroup, but is commonly placed in the first PropertyGroup in the project file.
<PropertyGroup>
...
<IncludeOrchestrations>true</IncludeOrchestrations>
...
</PropertyGroup>
2. Add an Orchestrations ItemGroup
The following is a typical example that properly follows the common ItemGroup structure:
<ItemGroup>
<Orchestrations Include="$(ProjectName).Orchestrations.dll">
<LocationPath>..\Orchestrations\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>
</Orchestrations>
</ItemGroup>
The following is the default configuration, which corresponds to the optional naming conventions. This default is in effect if you do not include any Orchestrations elements in your project file.
<ItemGroup>
<Orchestrations Include="$(ProjectName).Orchestrations.dll">
<LocationPath>..\$(ProjectName).Orchestrations\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>
</Orchestrations>
</ItemGroup>
If you have more than one assembly that contains orchestrations, then repeat the <Orchestrations> element for each assembly (usually within the same ItemGroup).
