AddResource Command: File
To add a file to a BizTalk application, you use the AddResource command and specify System.BizTalk:File for the Type parameter. Running this command adds the file to the BizTalk Management database. The file is also displayed in the BizTalk Administration console, in the Resources folder of the application to which you added it. In addition, the file is listed when you use the ListApp Command.
Usage
BTSTask AddResource [/ApplicationName:value] /Type:System.BizTalk:File [/Overwrite] /Source:value [/Destination:value] [/Server:value] [/Database:value]
Parameters

|---|---|---|
| /ApplicationName (or /A, see Remarks) | No | Name of the BizTalk application to which to add the file. If the path includes spaces, you must enclose it in double quotation marks ("). If the application name is not specified, the default BizTalk application is used. |
| /Type (or /T, see Remarks) | Yes | System.BizTalk:File (This value is not case-sensitive.) |
| /Overwrite (or /O, see Remarks) | No | Option to update an existing file. If not specified, and a file already exists in the application that has the same name as the file being added, the AddResource operation fails. |

| /Server (or /Se, see Remarks) | No | Name of the SQL Server instance hosting the BizTalk Management database, in the form ServerName\InstanceName,Port. Instance name is only required when the instance name is different than the server name. Port is only required when SQL Server uses a port number other than the default (1433). Examples: Server=MyServer Server=MyServer\MySQLServer,1533 If not provided, the name of the SQL Server instance running on the local computer is used. |
| /Database (or /Da, see Remarks) | No | Name of the BizTalk Management database. If not provided, the BizTalk Management database running in the local instance of SQL Server is used. |
