Open a BAM definition

  1. 1
    Find the exported definition XML

    (a .xml or .bam file) in the Explorer.

  2. 2
    Right-click it and choose Open With…

    or, with the file open, run View: Reopen Editor With… from the Command Palette.

  3. 3
    Select BizTalk BAM Viewer.

    The viewer opens on the Activities tab.

You can also run BizTalk: Open BAM Viewer from the Command Palette. It opens a file dialog filtered to .xml and .bam files.

Find your way around

  • Header: the file name and counts of activities, milestones and views.
  • Tabs: Activities and Views.
  • Filter box: narrows the cards on the current tab. See Filtering.
XML files still open as text

The viewer is registered as an optional editor, so .xml files keep opening in the normal text editor unless you choose it.
