Creating a Messaging Port on the Source Server

  • Article

A messaging port is a set of rules, configured by BizTalk Messaging Manager, with which you can direct how documents are enveloped, secured, and transported to a designated destination organization. The documents that a port transports originate from the source that is specified in an associated channel. A channel is a set of properties that you can use to provide BizTalk Server with the rules for processing a document that it receives.
