Overview of Major Components

In order to understand and work effectively with the Deployment Framework, it helps to understand how it works and its various components.

The Deployment Framework is comprised of a runtime and developer tools.  The developer tools help to accelerate the development process and, among other things, allow the developer to create an installer package that can be used to deploy the BizTalk solution to your servers.  The same runtime underlies both developer and server deployments to ensure a consistent and repeatable process from development all the way through server deployment.

The Deployment Framework for BizTalk installer includes:

1. Core Deployment Framework files
2. MSBuild integration
3. Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012 integration
4. ESB Toolkit 2.x integration
5. Sample BizTalk solutions
6. Documentation
7. Source code for the Deployment Framework tools and MSBuild tasks
