Hi Pratibha,
Above code will only get you the application status or application collection class not the Application NAME(S). To get name of the BizTalk application, you
need to use “Name” property of
ExplorerOM.Application
You cannot get BizTalk application name using WMI. Because Application concepts was first introduced in BizTalk 2006 onwards and WMI class to access the BizTalk
was introduced in BizTalk 2004 and WMI classes were not updated after that.
But as suggested you can use
ExplorerOM
to access the BiZtalk application name. Following will get you the list of applications in a string. You can update it to get the specific application or
list of applications as shown below.
private string GetBTSApplicationNames()
// connect to the local BizTalk Management database
Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer catalog = new Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer();
string sAppNames = String.Empty;
try
//connection string to BizTalk management database
catalog.ConnectionString = "SERVER=.;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Integrated Security=SSPI";
//Loop thru the list of applications. Here I am appending it to a string, you can do as your requirment.
foreach (Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.Application application in catalog.Applications)
sAppNames += application.Name.ToString()+ " ,";
catch (Exception ex)
//Handle exception
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("AppError", ex.ToString());
catalog.DiscardChanges();
throw ex;
return sAppNames;
