We are using the Powershell BizTalk Adapter when deploying our BizTalk solution.

And since we depend on a lot of external services and expose som WCF-services as well, we might as well do a quick test to see if the respond properly. Even a simple check to see if the URL responds with HTTP 200-OK will catch a lot of configuration and setup related errors.

The following script will iterate through all WCF receive and send port and try a simpe HTTP get. Perfect as the last step of any BizTalk deployment :-)

function GetStatusCodeFromURL
{
    param([string]$serviceName,[string]$url)

    try
    {
        Write-Host "$serviceName => " -NoNewline
       
        $req=[system.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create($url);
        $res = $req.getresponse();
        $stat = $res.statuscode;
        $res.Close();
               
        if ($stat -eq "OK")
        {
            Write-Host "$stat" -ForegroundColor:Green
        }
        else
        {
            Write-Host "$stat" -ForegroundColor:Red
        }
       
    }
    catch [System.Exception]
    {
        $exceptionMessage = $url + ": " + $_.Exception.Message
        Write-Host $exceptionMessage -ForegroundColor:Red       
    }
   
}

Write-Host "Testing HTTP send- and receiveports" -ForegroundColor:Green

## All receive locations
foreach ($bizApplication in Get-ChildItem "BizTalk:\Applications" | Where-Object {$_.Status -ne "NotApplicable"})
{
    $bizApplicationName = $bizApplication.Name

    foreach ($bizReceiveLocation in Get-ChildItem "BizTalk:\Applications\$bizApplicationName\Receive Locations" | Where-Object {$_.Address.EndsWith(".svc")})
    {
        $desc = $bizApplicationName + ": " + $bizReceiveLocation.Name
        GetStatusCodeFromURL $desc "http://localhost" + $bizReceiveLocation.Address
    }

    foreach ($bizSendPort in Get-ChildItem "BizTalk:\Applications\$bizApplicationName\Send Ports" | Where-Object {$_.IsTwoWay -eq $true})
    {
        $desc = $bizApplicationName + ": " + $bizSendPort.Name
        GetStatusCodeFromURL $desc $bizSendPort.PrimaryTransportAddress
    }
   
}
