If you plan to use EDI integrations, then you need to select the file MicrosoftEdiXSDTemplates.zip

 

The Tools.zip File

This is an interesting file that contains two important tools if you are already using BizTalk Server on premise

  1. BTM Migration Tool: The BTM to TRFM convertor is a command line tool which takes inputs as BTM File (BizTalk on premise map format), input and output schemas and produces the new mapper (.trfm) file as an output (BizTalk Services map format)
  2. TPM Migration Tool: The trading partner data migration tool migrates partner and agreement settings from BizTalk Server 201x to Windows Azure BizTalk Services.
