You can follow these steps to deploy an RFID process:
- Register the device provider. Then copy the provider files over to the app base if the provider does not have an installer (which does the same).
- Start the device provider. To communicate to a device, BizTalk RFID requires a device provider.
- Add device(s). You must add physical devices that a process requires to BizTalk RFID.
- Group the devices, if there is more than one device. You might want to group multiple devices together to administer them easily. For example, you can choose to group devices with similar characteristics or a similar physical location.
- Create a process. You create a process that maps to a business context.
- Bind the process.
-
Bind devices. Create a logical device in the process and bind it to one or more physical devices or device groups.
-
Bind components. Bind the process with the components that the process requires.
- Validate the process.
- Deploy the process. This might be required if the process has some components that require a one-time setup. For example, when the sink is deployed, it creates the database.
- Start the process. Execute the process to achieve a business task.
