Well in general I am new to BizTalk and maintaining a very old setup, BT 2013 R2
Overall I am well versed in .XSLT and feel more comfortable managing xml directly than I do in the BT IDE ( well the vstudio IDE)
So here are a couple generic architecture questions:
What are the steps to manage the maps manually through notepad? I see a lot of code in the .BTM.CS file, but those don't seem to get picked up. I seem to have to change the .BTM file first, then it generates the .BTM.CS
My Map is Huge, I'm working with X12 and there are thousands of fields, what can I do to make this easier? I have to scroll through 10 layers deep just to make anything visible, then expand the map. BT IDE seems to have a big issue dealing with such big files
Also any books anyone can recommend on the subject would be appreciated
