Find out how You can use the Web-based Administration console (Web Client) of Nodinite to Start BizTalk Server Orchestrations.
From Monitor Views where you are granted access and where BizTalk Orchestrations are included and Remote Actions are allowed You can use the Nodinite Web Client to Start the selected BizTalk Server Orchestration.
