Migrate BizTalk Server from local server to remote server - biztalk

I have BizTalk 2016 server running on my local machine and want to migrate all the settings and applications to remote server. I am trying to implement using BizTalk migration tool provided by Microsoft Announcing: BizTalk Server Migration tool
Would appreciate if provided a sample demo on this application/tool or any other implementation available to migrate.

My advice, don't bother with this tool. I've never even heard of it so...no one is actually using it.... ;)
Anyway, the correct procedure is very simple...
Build new BizTalk Server environment
Deploy your apps
Export .msi and bindings
OR -
Build the apps with BizTalk Deployment Framework

How to deploy an ASP.NET project to Azure with WebDeploy

A little background (before I get downvoted to oblivion!)
I'm working on an intranet-hosted ASP.NET web application in a highly secure environment. At the moment it's deployed by building a package in Visual Studio, the zip file is copied onto the server and installed in IIS using WebDeploy (right-click -> Deploy -> Import Application).
What I'd like to do is deploy a sanitised version of this application to an Azure Web Site for demonstration purposes, however most of the standard Azure deployment methods do not apply to me because:
I work on a secure network so Visual Studio is blocked from connecting to Azure (rendering 95% of documentation irrelevant!)
installable software is strictly controlled on this network so I cannot install the Azure SDK needed to create Service Definitions, Configurations and Packages
The only machine I have access to which can connect to Azure is woefully underpowered and can only run puTTY, PowerShell and basic text editors.
At the moment, I have a Windows VM in Azure just running IIS and WebDeploy - this works but seems like overkill (and a good way to burn through my credit) when Web Apps in theory do everything I need.
What can I do?
Another option may be to checkin the WebDeploy package to a free subscription of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS = TFS in the cloud) and then create a deployment pipeline in VSTS using the new Release Management features.
https://www.visualstudio.com/features/release-management-vs.aspx
in that case:
1) FTP from your machine using your own FTP client or i would recommend to use PSFTP from Putty package.
2) Still WebDeploy, but use that to generate the needed files, then you can use PowerShell like that.
You can also use https://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/ to connect to azure websites. It works with HTTP, only problem could be a corporate proxy.

SOA suite 12c can not find SOA sever

I have standalone server configured, when deploy OSB project on it, it works fine, but when I try to deploy an SOA project, it hangs at "Looking up SOA server" and then got this error message. Does anyone knows what is wrong here, thank you.
I have admin sever, soa server and osb server all up and running. Here is the proof.
Here is the update:
The connection tests are all successfully returned.
But when I try to expend this SOA folder it just keep loading...
Inside the em, it shows the servers are up and SOA infra is active. This is version 12.2 btw.
That's not a standlone domain. Instructions for standalone domain are wrong in the docs. Attached is screenshot of standalone I created. Also successful expansion of SOA in JDeveloper. My guess is your installation is wrong.
Try installing on another machine and testing. Is this on-premise or SOA Cloud Service? IF SOA cloud service then know that deploy from JDeveloper to SOA CS is not supported in this release, per the docs.
Standalone means you create a seperate domain and server that cannot be managed or controlled by jdeveloper..
jdeveloper uses integrated server (integrated with jdeveloper) and uses java derby database instead of oracle database or other dbs.

Publish ASP.NET MVC 4 (Razor) app onto remote server running Windows 7 with IIS 7

I have experience in hosting an Asp mvc 4 application on local IIS with Sql server as back end. Now I want to host this application on another system that don't have Sql server and Visual studio installed. I think we can able to get all files necessary to host by publish option in visual studio 2012. But I don't have any idea on how to make my database working on the server without sql server and the necessary connection strings. Can I change my db to sql server compact 4.0?
Please give the necessary instructions.
For .net Application you can generate necessary files using publish feature of VS.You can even make use of web-deploy for direct deployment of artifacts to remote server itself.
For db you better have sql -engine, without that it get's tricky. Express edition will always be better option if you are not looking for some advanced DBA jobs.

How sync sql server 2008-R2 (remopte server with local) using Microsoft Sync Framework

How can i sync sql server 2008-R2 (remopte server and local) using Microsoft Sync Framework?
there are tons of documentations about that framework, but i could n't find a step-by-step guide for synchronization.
i downloaded Sync Framework 2.1 SDK From here
just a framework and after installation there are some dlls in program files folder.
now what should i do and which Tools should i use?
where can i downlaod those tools?
i saw a tool (PUTTY.exe) in one of servers that i have access. what is this tool and is it in relationship with sync framework?
i have two databases(sql server 2008 - R2) : A in Local And B in a Web server.
both of these databases are the same and i just want to sync their data with a scheduled program.
thanks in advance
the documentation includes a walkthrough/tutorial, see:
Tutorial: Synchronizing SQL Server and SQL Express
this should work with SQL Server to SQL Sever as well and you should find the same in the documentation that gets installed with the SDK.
here's a sample using WCF:
Database Sync:SQL Server and SQL Express N-Tier with WCF

Running asp.NET application on a local computer for testing purposes

I developed a web application for some small company. It connects to an SQL database created in Microsoft SQL server Managment studio 2008. Now they would like to test this app on a local computer before they put it on a server.
My question is, what are all the things I need to make this app work on a random computer running Win with no Visual Studio or SQL server installed?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: They want to run it on a local computer only.
maybe Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0 can help you out.
http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
Install .Net version you are using. It might already be there.
Install/configure IIS
Install SQL Server Express
Your db connection string obviously need to be changed to the local
sql server connection in web.config
Because it is a simple app, just copy the entire app (except proj
files, .cs, .vb files) to that computer
For one, point the connection string at SQL Server on a staging server. The whole idea of testing is to have the same environment as the production server.
