Your application doesnt have the same kind of icon as BizTalk.System application because when you configure biztalk server, an application named BizTalk.System is automatically created and populated with common artifacts that are used by all BizTalk applications, such as the default schemas and pipelines. BizTalk.System and its artifacts are read-only. You cannot delete or rename BizTalk.System, nor can you delete, rename, or move any of the artifacts that it contains.

Every application in BizTalk Server automatically contains a reference to the BizTalk.System application. This is because the artifacts in BizTalk.System are used by every BizTalk application. You should never remove a reference to the BizTalk.System application. If you do, your application may not function correctly.

You should not bother about the icon given to your application, instead ensure your application is running bug-less at run time.

The Icon used for BizTalk.System only means that application is Referenced by other Applications.

Common is just another application, BT Admin doesn't know or care what it is or that it may contain shared Artifacts.

If you really want Common to have the same Icon as BizTalk.System, Reference it from another Application, though, you should not do that unless you need to.

Hi ,

The Symbol you are seeing at BizTalk.System is referencing symbol .The BizTalk.System Application is being referenced by all the deployed application .You can verify by Application dependency property at your BizTalk Admin console .

If your common application is also being referenced  by any other application then the Icon design  will change like BIzTalk.System Application .

Thanks

Hi,

1. Why BizTalk Common application does not get the same kind of icon as the BizTalk.System application ?

Seems your Common application is not refereed by other application so icon coming like BizTalk Application 1, once you refer Common application with any other application icon will be changed like BizTalk.System.

I have created two applications, Common and NewApplication, where I have refereed Common application to New Application and now icon of Common application has been changed as same BizTalk.System.

2. Should I add Common from BizTalk Administration Console or should I build it in VS ?

Either you can add your application from BizTalk Admin console or build it from Visual studio.

3. Any good tutorial on how to create such application ?
