This section describes how to migrate BizTalk artifacts from previous versions of BizTalk Server. Artifacts are the items comprising a BizTalk business solution, such as orchestrations, schemas, maps, and pipelines. This section describes the steps involved in migrating artifacts from BizTalk Server 2002 to BizTalk Server 2006. In addition, while migration is automatic when you perform an in-place upgrade to BizTalk Server 2006 from BizTalk Server 2004, this section covers some additional steps that you may want to take to use these artifacts. It also describes how to import artifacts from an .msi file that was created in BizTalk Server 2004 into a BizTalk Server 2006 application.
