Migration from Biztalk 2006 r2 to BT2013 R2

Hi,

Good Day

Can anyone please guide/confirm the below procedure for migrating BT2006 r2 to BT2013 R2.

As we know that we can not directly migrate from BT2006 r2 to BT2013R2 as there is a platform alignment(NET 2.0 to 4.0). So we  need Intermediate version.

For BT2006R2 to BT2013R2 Code Migration

1. Using Visual Studio 2012 Conversion wizard used to convert BT2006 Project to BT2013 Projects.

For, BT2006R2 to BT2013R2 Application Migration (MSI Import/Export)

1. Export .MSI from BT2006 R2 Application.

2. Import to BT2009 [Intermediate].

3. Export .MSI file from BT 2009 (same Application).

4. Import to BT 2013 R2

Can you please correct me whether we can do Application Migration like above i mentioned ? or It is not possible to do Application Migration from BT2006 to BT2013R2.

Please Clarify

Thanks,

Vinoth

Your second approach"For, BT2006R2 to BT2013R2 Application Migration (MSI Import/Export)"

NO!! Its not feasible.

You cant use the BizTalk 2009 msi in BTS 2013 environment. You may use the binding but not the msi. Rebuild the msi compatible to .NET 4.5 and deploy the migrated msi in your new environment.

BizTalk server 2013 runtime components require .NET Framework 4.5. BizTalk server 2009 relies on .NET 3.5. So you have to make your msi or assemblies compatible for .NET 4.5.

On high level, Open your 2006R2 code in Visual studio 2012 (for BizTalk server 2013) or Visual studio 2013 (for BizTalk server 2013 R2) and use the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard to migrate your BizTalk 2006R2 code to 2013 (or R2). Rebuild the msi in Visual studio 2012 (for BizTalk server 2013) to deploy the migrated msi in your new environment. Also you can use Microsoft BizTalk Server Party Migration Tool (Party Migration Tool) to migrate the party-specific data (if you have) from BizTalk Server 2006R2 to the new TPM model in BizTalk Server.

Wait ,

HI Vinoth ,

Have you tried opening your solution in Visual Studio . I have Migrated my code from BizTalk 2006 R2 to BizTalk 2013 without any mess . It will work only thing you need to change is the .Net framework of your solution after migrate through Visual Studio Migration Tool .

Another option is to create new solution file and add your BizTalk project to newly created solution file .

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

I am going to verify as per suggestion.so  it means like we need to only make sure any funtiods or others depreciated in latest version correct?

Follow the guide: BIZTALK 2006 R2/2009 TO BIZTALK 2013 MIGRATION APPROACH

The first time you open a BizTalk 2006 project, it is automatically upgraded to the BizTalk 2013/Visual Studio 2012 project system.

Parties are the only thing that will require some specific migration steps. Also be careful when migrating BAM and BRE.

Of course, test thoroughly.
