Maintaining up-to-date documentation for complex integration environments is a challenge for any administrator. Fortunately, the BizTalk Server 2010 Documenter (and its predecessor for BizTalk 2006) makes this task effortless.
Originally released on CodePlex by Nigel Bachmann, these essential tools are now maintained on GitHub to help the community keep their environment details organized.
Nigel Bachmann just added a new version of BizTalk Documenter: BizTalk Server 2010 Documenter and updated the existing version, BizTalk 2006 Documenter.
The source code and MSI for both versions are available on GitHub.
