ReceiveLocations (BizTalk Server Sample)

  • Article

The ReceiveLocations sample demonstrates how to create receive locations in the BizTalk Server environment by using the ExplorerOM administration objects. For more information about receive locations in general, see Receive Locations.

Prerequisites

  • You must have BizTalk Server administrative privileges to use the administrative objects in this sample.

  • The Windows PowerShell script requires the Windows PowerShell execution policy to allow script execution. For more information see Examining the Execution Policy.

What This Sample Does

This sample demonstrates using the ExplorerOM administrative classes to create and configure receive ports and receive locations. A Windows PowerShell example script is also included in this topic. The sample performs the following operations:

  • Create a new receive port named “My Receive Port”.

  • Create a new receive location associated with the new port and configured to use the HTTP transport protocol.

  • This sample also contains example procedures to delete and enumerate receive ports and locations.

Where To Find This Sample

This sample is located in the following SDK location:

<Samples Path> \Admin\ExplorerOM\ReceiveLocations

The following table shows the files in this sample and describes their purpose.

File(s) Description
ReceiveLocations.cs Visual C# source file for the operations demonstrated in this sample.
ReceiveLocations.sln and ReceiveLocations.csproj Solution and project files for this sample.

Building and Running This Sample

To build this sample

  1. In Visual Studio, open the solution file ReceiveLocations.sln.

  2. On the Build menu, click Build Solution.

To run this sample

  1. Open a command prompt with BizTalk Server administrative privileges.

  2. Change to the <Samples>\Admin\ExplorerOM\ReceiveLocations\bin\debug directory.

  3. Run ReceiveLocations.exe.

  4. View the new receive port and receive location with the BizTalk Server Administration console.

Windows PowerShell Script Example

The following PowerShell example script demonstrates the same operations as the Visual C# version. Make sure the script execution policy has been properly configured as mentioned in the requirements section of this topic.
