Step 2. Configure Application Event Log

BizTalk server configuration keeps all the event details in event log based on number of feature we install. During installation if we have low space in event log then installation will fail. So to rid of this issue, we have to configure application event log properly and give them the proper log size.

To change the log settings, we have to follow below steps,

  1. Open Run command and type 'eventvwr', it'll open Event Viewer window.

  2. Now go to Application Pools, right click on DefaultAppPool and select Advanced Settings.
  3. Change the value of Enable 32-bit Application to true, because BAM Portal runs in 32-bit mode only and if have a 64-bit application then we have to set this.
  4. Click OK.

Step 4. Install Windows Identity Foundation (WIF)

This step will be mandatory if we have to use SharePoint Services adapter, otherwise we can skip it.

Step 6. Install Excel 2019 or 2016

If we use BAM, BizTalk Server requires Excel. If we don't use BAM, we can skip this step.

The BAM Office Excel Workbook defines the business processes we want to monitor. We also use the BAM Excel Workbook to define the way business users see the data collected by BAM.

Step 7. Install Visual Studio 2019
