BizTalk map does not update between deployments

I am developing against a BizTalk 2009 environment. I am using BizTalk Deployment Framework (BTDF) to deploy my solution to the server. The problem I am facing is that when I tweak any aspect of my maps, the changes are not reflected in the BizTalk message body or output messages I use for testing. For instance, removing a link to a mapped element still shows the data being mapped from source to destination as if nothing has changed.

Between each deployment, the BTDF uninstalls the application, re-GAC's the assemblies, installs the application, and then bounces the host application. Ever so often BizTalk essentially catches up to my map version and it is working without issue until I make another tweak.

Is it possible that BizTalk is caching the map in a way that I cannot refresh?

Are you building your dll's for deployment on your development machine?

Then remember that version of the map from GAC will take priority over your local map from visual studio.

I was many times cought by map dll taken from GAC instead of local folder.

Hope it helps

Are you making your map changes in the BizTalk Mapper, or an XSLT?

Visual Studio does not recognise changes in an XSLT as requiring a re-build of the assembly. You would need to explicitly perform a "Rebuild" of the Map assembly in order to see these sort of mapping changes apply.

Hope this helps.
