It was just over two years since I published the first release of my Visio 2010 stencils for BizTalk Server and after many downloads, feedback, suggestions and some complaints … I decided that it was time to make a new upgrade!
Therefore I decided to provide resources that will allow you to create fancy diagrams that will help you representing BizTalk Server physical architectures, Integration architectures (Cloud or Hybrid scenarios) or solutions diagrams in Visio:
- BizTalk Servers shapes
- BizTalk, SQL, BAM, IIS, BizTalk360 and so on…
- Common BizTalk artifacts:
- Orchestrations, Receive and Send Pipelines, Transformations and Filters
- BizTalk Out-of-box Adapters shapes
- SMTP, SQL, File, FTP, SFTP, MSMQ, …
- Business Activity Monitoring, Business Rules Engine, BizTalk Console Administration and BizTalk360
- Windows Azure BizTalk Services and Cloud shapes
- Common Integration Servers shapes
- SMTP, Active Directory, Web, Mainframe, …
- Certificates, RFID, Gateway, Secure Message and many more…
This resources are available in two versions:
- Visio 2013 Stencil for BizTalk Server: This is a collection of 73 modern flat Visio 2013 that you can use and resize without losing quality!
- and Visio 2010 Stencil for BizTalk Server: Because many people are still using Visio 2010, so I thought it would be a good idea to update new shapes also for Visio 2010, the result was 63 new modern flat shapes that are now joining the 35 shapes that already existed (two of them were remove from this version) making a total of a total of 98 shapes.
Instructions:
- Download the file and copy to the folder “C:\Users\you_user\Documents\My Shapes” (that is the default folder for the Visio custom shapes)
- To access the shapes in Visio, select from the Shapes Windows: “More Shapes -> My Shapes -> BizTalkServerStencilsForVisio2013.vssx”
