I have BizTalk 2013r2 environment with CU5 installed. If I load the Server Configuration UI and click in the "Bam Tools" left-hand option, it shows me that it's configured correctly for Bam Primary Import db, but has the wrong server name for Bam Archive.
The correct server name is BizTalkBuild01:
This prevents me from being able to deploy any Bam activities. It doesn't seem possible to correct this through the Server Configuration UI. Does anyone know of another way?
Considering that I assume your database already exists, try moving this database to the new server using the way described at MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa561233(v=bts.20).aspx

I'm trying to create a SQL Server database and then to use it to make a list with important stuff in it. I don't seem to make it work. I went to the toolbox, chose panel and then when I get into creating the server itself, it doesn't work as it is not showing me a server name and the database name needed for it to work. I tried to write them myself but it's still not working.
Both of them when I open the list don't show anything. I understood that is essential for it to show me things for it to work.
You could install LocalDB through the Visual Studio Installer, as part of the Data Storage and Processing workload, the ASP.NET and web development workload, or as an individual component.
After you install it, you could get it directly.
Here is the full documentation about LocalDB.
You can also refer to this set of ssdt database operation process to learn database.
I am following this tutorial (http://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/database-first-development/setting-up-database) in order to create a database-first app with Entity Framework.
I hit "Run" and everything seems to be working, but in the next part of the tutorial (https://www.asp.net/mvc/overview/getting-started/database-first-development/creating-the-web-application), when I try to add a connection, it's not in the drop-down menu in the "Connection Properties" box under "Select or enter a database name".
Which server is the database on? I didn't specify anything about the server when I created the project for the first tutorial, and I figured that it would be on the default LocalDB that comes with Visual Studio (server name: (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB), but the database isn't there. Any ideas where I should look or what to try?
Maybe use . (a dot) as Server Name?
Open your Web.config file and check your <connectionStrings> this is where the data source of the database will be. As shown:
However, which version of SQL Server do you have? As this can determine what the correct connection string will be.
Hit Windows+R. And run the following:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances
You may have multiple instances, it would be worth checking each one. So it would be:
(localdb)(name of instance)

What could be the case is that you have to run the application you created, and then do something to touch the database like creating / registering a user. After registration you can find the database on the specified location in your web.config settings. This was the solution in my case.
I need to migrate a customer's site which happens to be hosted in a remote Win32 environment with Sitebuilder, Plesk, SQL Server and ASP or ASP.Net, I'm not sure.
I'm used to LAMP environments, so I don't know what to do with all the files in this server. Sitebuilder and SQL Server are also new to me.
I only have access to the FTP files and to the Plesk panel control, but it doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any SQL Server database (as it usually does with MySQL databases).
So far I've only been able to think of these two options:
Code an ASP script that writes down the database content into CSV files (wouldn't know where to start).
Code a script that retrieves the data directly from the HTML pages (long, painful, error prone and not useful to access data available only to logged in users).
So my question is: from your experience, knowledge of this platform, and point of view, which would be my best option?
Thank you very much in advance in my first question here. Regards,
UPDATE: I've managed to access the server (Windows 2008 server + SQL server 2008) using remote desktop. I guess I should be able to export the database now. I'll check Management Studio to see if it can help in the process.
It sounds odd that it doesn't support remote connections, but if you want to do it from within your asp-pages, the following links might be good starting points:

I have a legacy system which can create files visible in WebDav as an output. I'd like to trigger a BizTalk orchestration receive port when a file matching a filter appears - so a lot like the standard File adapter, but for WebDav.
I found the BizTalk Scheduled Task Adapter, which can pull in a file by HTTP, but it looks abandoned, poorly documented, and out of date.
So, how is it done? Can I use the standard HTTP adapter perhaps?
If you're able access the WebDAV via a UNC path from the BizTalk server the File Adapter should do the trick.
Have you tried to assign a drive letter to the WebDav folder?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV
We've had to go with a workaround on this where we made a completely unrelated separate process to make a copy of the file from the legacy system appear in a Samba share, which we in turn attach to with an ordinary FILE adapter.
I have an ASP.NET server that provides its client as an MSI download (similar to CCNet/CCTray).
There can be more than a single server (for example, for dev/testing/production, but there may be different production instances).
So client has to know server URL. I can not ask users for URL because it does not really make much sense for them, they do not know of any other servers anyway. So the MSI should have the server URL included.
Now, I can pre-build different versions of MSI for different environments (since there are already distinct build steps for these dev/test anyway), but this does not solve a question of several productions where the product is already built.
So I think server should modify the MSI and add the correct URL before serving it. Is it possible without rebuilding the msi? What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Basically an MSI file is just a database, using the Windows Installer API you can run arbitrary SQL on this database... for example:
Dim installer, database, view, result
Set installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set database = installer.OpenDatabase ("setup.msi", 1)
Set view = database.OpenView ("INSERT INTO Property (Property, Value) VALUES ('URLPROPERTY', 'http://some.server/blah/service')")
view.Execute
database.Commit
Set database = nothing
Just use this script in a post-build or pre-download process and you'll be sorted :)
For more information and additional (better) sample scripts, refer to the Windows SDK
I don't know of a way to modify the MSI itself, but you can have the server write the url to a known file on the client and have the MSI project read in that file (and delete it). That way you can have one MSI build for all servers.
Modifying MSI file on web server before serving it is not a good idea. What if someone requests the file while you are still updating it?
You are better off modifying your build process to produce a set of MSI files corresponding to production websites. Each website would have its own custom MSI file.
