If we set up a biztalk receive port to use a network share location, and tha
t
network share's machine dies... but there's a backup machine... is there a
way to tell biztalk "try here, or there"?

Thanks,

Mo

In a case like this you can just create multiple receive locations
associated with the same Receive port, one of the pointing at the main
machine, the other at the backup, I think.

You'd run the risk of your messages being processed twice in such a
scenario.  If location2 contains all the files tyhat were sent to
location2, you'd have to be able to delete and message that has been
processed via location1 from location2.

In some cases, double-processing a message is not an issue (eg update
someone's contact details) but if you are processing (for example)
purchase orders the implications are a lot greater than simply tying
up processor time.
