How to Refresh a Resource

This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to refresh a resource artifact. This updates the artifact information in the BizTalk Management database. Another way to do this is by adding the artifact to the application using the BTSTask AddResource Command with the overwrite option.

Resource artifacts are contained in an application's Resources folder. You might want to refresh a resource artifact if you make changes to the source file and want to replace the file in the application with the updated file.

Prerequisites
