Hi there

I have set up 1 recieve port and 2 send ports. For the send ports the
message is sent as an file to a particular folder depending on filters.
For the receive port, it also accepts an xml file in a particular
folder. My problem is that when my xml file is added to the folder
specified in the receive port properties, nothing happens on the send
port side of things. All the ports are enlisted and started and the
receive port is enabled.

A bit of background, I'm new to BizTalk and am following a tutorial
found at the following URL:

http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/...A8-CB05D38B7D50

My problem is related to Exercise 6.

Does anyone have any initial thoughts on why the send ports are not
putting the files into the destination folder.

I have BizTalk Server 2004 and am running this from my local machine.
I'm basically copying an xml file to the destination folder of the
receive port. As a consequence of this the file should be dealt with by
the send ports and distributed accordingly to the correct send port
destination folder.

Any help is much appreciated.

Chances are the filter on your send ports are configured incorrectly of your
receive location is. The first thing I'd check is the machine application
event log (or HAT) and see if the receive is failing: it most likely is with
a "No matching subscriptions can be found" message or with a disassembling
failure.

So a few questions:
1- Did you use the XmlReceive pipeline on your receive location?
2- What are the filters on your send ports like?

How do i check the "HAT"?

I am using the XMLReceive pipeline on my receive location.
There is nothing wrong with the filter, it's a basic expression testing
if a particular field in the xml is <= to a particular value.

Could it be permissions or that fact it's on my local machine?

Open the Health And Activity Monitor tool in the BizTalk Start Menu group.

Did you correctly promote correctly the necessary property fields?

Doubt that. Did you check the application event log? Really, unless you look
there and take a good look at what error message biztalk is generating,
we're pretty much guessing here.

Hi there

Thanks for your patience

I have checked the Application event viewer within the biztalk admin
console and can't find any relevant messages.

I have checked the HAT which contains no messages at all.

It must be a setup/configuration problem, but i'd have no idea where to
start looking.

Cheers
