Creating Document Definitions on the Destination Server

A document definition represents a business document in a messaging port, channel, or distribution list. A document definition provides a pointer to a specification that defines the document. A document definition can be associated with any number of messaging ports, channels, and distribution lists.

The destination BizTalk Server is the vendor.

  1. On the destination BizTalk Server, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000, and then click BizTalk Messaging Manager.

  2. In BizTalk Messaging Manager, on the File menu, point to New, and then click Document Definition.

  3. In the NewDocument Definition dialog box, in the Document definition name box, type a name for the document definition (for example, PurchaseOrder).

  4. Select the Document specification dialog box, and then click Browse.

  5. In the Select a Document Specification from the WebDAV Repository dialog box, double-click the Microsoft folder.

  6. Select an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file (for example, POSchema.xml), and then click Open.
