Recently, my team and I developed and released several tools that extend the out-of-the-box capabilities of BizTalk Server 2016, helping developer and administration teams to be more productive by saving time on simple but time-consuming tasks that should not be. One of these tools was the BizTalk Filter Finder Tool.
Because many clients are still using BizTalk Server 2013 R2 and I have received some requests from the community, I will be releasing these tools for BizTalk Server 2013 R2 as well. And today, we will start with the BizTalk Filter Finder Tool.
📝 One-Minute Brief
Introduces the BizTalk Filter Finder Tool for BizTalk Server 2013 R2, a lightweight utility that helps administrators quickly identify and analyze content‑based and pub‑sub routing filters across BizTalk applications, send ports, and orchestrations.
BizTalk Filter Finder Tool
“BizTalk Filter Finder Tool” is a simple tool that aims to simplify the process for better understanding and maintaining solutions based on content-based routing. By allowing you to have a quick overview of all the artifacts, send ports, or orchestrations that have filters associated.
This tool will extend default BizTalk Server capabilities, transforming this tedious and sometimes complicated analysis into a simple, easy, and fast one.
It may not be an amazing tool; it may not be beautiful, but for me, it is a timesaver tool.
