Before you begin your development process, you need to identify the components required to implement a ZTP service. Figure 1 illustrates the components that are a part of a ZTP service. A ZTP service is comprised of the following components: 1. | User interface that allows the user to input parameters that are provided to the script. | 2. | BizTalk Server 2004 HWS actions that provide the workflow and orchestration of the service. | 3. | Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) transformations that translate the information provided by the user interface into a format that can be passed to the script as parameters. | 4. | The actual script, or other executable, that is run as a part of the service. |
You need to select the appropriate ZTP service components to create your custom service. You can use the existing services in ZTP and the information in this guide to assist you in creating your custom ZTP service.
