Author starting an orchestration

hi, I wonder if orchestrations always have to be stareted from outside, eg a
file drop, webservice call, whatever.
Isn't it possible to let it poll a certain webpage from itself, like fetch a
file from a webpage once a day?

Greetings,
Michael Sander

It is possible to design an orchestration that is initially started via a
file drop, web service call, etc. -- but then have the orchestration enter a
loop with a delay shape that governs a polling interval. Within that loop,
you can make a web service call, etc. and then act on what you find.

Hi Scott, this would rather be an odd way to use biztalk. If thats the only
solution I'll look for something else...
Thanx for your reply...

I would agree it might be odd if the initiating message was purely
"artificial" - often it isn't, though.

You could of course also looking at building your own (polling) receive
adapter.
