I have always found that documenting BizTalk Server projects can be somewhat difficult and time consuming. At that back of my mind, I’ve always wanted a tool that I could simply point at the installation and it would clear documentation for me.
While looking through Darren Jefford’s blog I happened across this article about 64 Bit BizTalk Documenter support. Naturally, I opened the article, and installed the thing immediately. It’s a great, basic little app that will create a help file for your BizTalk Server configuration. It obviously does not elaborate on what a map does; it does give you the ins and outs of the overall plumbing of the project. It’s certainly worth giving a try.
While documenting that fact that orchestration X subscribes to messages from port Y and that the orchestration uses assemblies A, B and C may be fairly straight forward, it’s a great step to reducing the amount of work that needs to be done in overall documentation.
As per Darren’s blog; the download for the documenter and some more information can be found here:
I did find that the first time I tried to run it, I got monaed at for not having the Help Compiler. So here is a link to that too:
