Hi Nilesh,
Status of BizTalk application can be obtained using ExplorerOM API provided by product. It's Application class has a Status property that returns one of Not Applicable, Started, Stopped, Partially Started.
using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
private string GetApplicationStatus(string applicationName)
BtsCatalogExplorer catalog = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
string status = "";
try
//connection string to BizTalk management database
catalog.ConnectionString = "SERVER=.;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Integrated Security=SSPI";
Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.Application app = catalog.Applications[applicationName];
if (app == null)
throw new Exception(String.Format("Application '{0}' cannot be found.", applicationName));
status = app.Status.ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
//Handle exception
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyMonitoryingApp", "Exception call stack: " + ex.ToString());
finally
if (catalog != null) { catalog.Dispose(); }
return status;
UPDATE: Found the thread from where I got this code. Thanks to Ashwin for providing it.
