Enlist action for Orchestrations
Discover how Nodinite empowers you to Enlist BizTalk Server Orchestrations quickly and efficiently using the intuitive Web Client or the powerful auto-healing feature. Streamline orchestration management and ensure your environment is always ready for business.
From Monitor Views where you have access and where BizTalk Orchestrations are included and Remote Actions are allowed, you can use the Nodinite Web Client to Enlist selected BizTalk Server Orchestrations.
An Enlisted Orchestration can be Unenlisted, Stopped, or Started. There is no need to use the BizTalk Server Administration Console (MMC) for this administrative task.
Warning
Enlisting a BizTalk Orchestration means it will subscribe (stockpile) messages, but no message processing occurs until you start the Orchestration.
How do I Enlist an Orchestration?
To Enlist Orchestrations, you have several options with Nodinite:
- Use the Action button menu item Enlist (as described on this page)
- Use the Enlist button available from within the Details modal
- Use the Auto healing feature – use with care!
To Enlist a BizTalk Server Orchestration, press the Action button menu item on the selected row and select Enlist:
Enlist Orchestration button menu item.
The user will be prompted to confirm the Enlist operation:
Confirmation dialog when enlisting an Orchestration.
Then, Nodinite displays the result of the operation:
This image shows a successful enlist operation.
Note
A Stopped Orchestration is the same state as an Enlisted Orchestration.
This image shows a failed Enlist operation, for example, due to no host handler assigned.
If Enlisted, the BizTalk Server Orchestration will be evaluated as being in the Warning state:
This image shows an Orchestration in the Enlisted (Warning) state.
Auto Healing
Nodinite can automatically issue the Enlist, Start, Stop, or Unenlist command for you. Learn more in the Auto Healing user guide. This feature helps keep selected BizTalk Server Orchestrations in the intended run-time state.
Tip
Using Auto Healing keeps your BizTalk environment in its intended state.
