hi all,
could someone please explain me what is the 'port type' property of a
port.

lets say i create a port named 'port1'.
and I give it a port type called 'myCommonPortType'. after this i
created another port named 'port2'. I give it the existing port type
'myCommonPortType'. what am I exactly acomplishing by using common
port type ? does it prefill certain properties if I use an existing
port type based on what i created earlier. if 'yes' which properties ?

also if someone could point me to good help link for this..

-
thanks
siddharth

Hi Siddharth, I'm assuming this is in relation to Orchestration in BizTalk
2004.
Port type describes the communication pattern and the type of message that
is used with the port.  So a port type would be either one way or
request/response and you would associate a message type with it.  It also
determines whether the port is internal, private or public.
You'd use a common port type if you had two or more ports that were the
same communication pattern (let's say they are all one way,) all will be
sending or receiving the same message type, and all share the same access
(public/private/internal.)

If you search in the updated BizTalk 2004 documentation for "port type" you
should get several hits that talk about using these.
