This section provides instructions on using the BizTalk Server Administration console to manage the pipelines in a BizTalk group. You can configure tracking for events and messages as well as configure pipeline properties for a specific send port or receive location.
Pipelines perform actions on incoming and outgoing messages, such as transforming them from a native format into XML, encrypting or unencrypting data, performing property promotion, and so on.
You cannot add a pipeline to an application individually; a pipeline is added to an application as follows:
-
When you add a BizTalk assembly containing a pipeline to the application, as described in How to Add a BizTalk Assembly to an Application.
-
When you import an .msi file into an application that includes a BizTalk assembly containing a pipeline, as described in How to Import a BizTalk Application.
-
When a developer deploys into an application an assembly containing a pipeline from Visual Studio, as described in Deploying BizTalk Assemblies from Visual Studio into a BizTalk Application.
For background information about pipelines, see Pipelines. For information about developing pipelines, see Creating Pipelines Using Pipeline Designer.
Note
You can use Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Object Model to create and run scripts that automate administrative tasks. For information about using WMI, see the WMI Class Reference [!INCLUDEui-guidance-developers-reference].
