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 pipelines, edit your Deployment Framework for BizTalk project file (.btdfproj) as follows:
1. Set the IncludePipelines property to true
The property may be included in any PropertyGroup, but is commonly placed in the first PropertyGroup in the project file.
<PropertyGroup>
...
<IncludePipelines>true</IncludePipelines>
...
</PropertyGroup>
2. Add a Pipelines ItemGroup
The following is a typical example that properly follows the common ItemGroup structure:
<ItemGroup>
<Pipelines Include="$(ProjectName).Pipelines.dll">
<LocationPath>..\Pipelines\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>
</Pipelines>
</ItemGroup>
The following is the default configuration, which corresponds to the optional naming conventions. This default is in effect if you do not include any Pipelines elements in your project file.
<ItemGroup>
<Pipelines Include="$(ProjectName).Pipelines.dll">
<LocationPath>..\$(ProjectName).Pipelines\bin\$(Configuration)</LocationPath>
</Pipelines>
</ItemGroup>
If you have more than one assembly that contains pipelines, then repeat the <Pipelines> element for each assembly (usually within the same ItemGroup).
