Prerequisites

To edit the properties of a receive location

1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

2. In the console tree, expand the BizTalk group and the BizTalk application for which you want to edit the properties of a receive location and then click Receive Locations.

3. In the right pane, right-click the receive location, and then click Properties.

4. In the Receive Location Properties window, edit one or more of the following properties, and then click OK:

   Use this	To do this
   Name	Type the name of the receive location.
   Type	From the drop-down list, select the transport type, or transport protocol. If you change the transport type, you must configure transport properties, as described next.
   Configure	After you select the transport type, click Configure to display the Transport Properties dialog box and configure adapter properties for the receive location. For instructions, click Help in the dialog box. For details on configuring each type of adapter, see the appropriate topic under Using Adapters.
   Receive handler	From the drop-down list, select the instance of the BizTalk Server host on which the receive location will run. The receive handler must be running on this host.
   Receive pipeline	From the drop-down list, select the receive pipeline to use to receive messages at this receive location.
   Send pipeline	From the drop-down list, select the send pipeline to use to send responses from this receive location. This list is available only for a receive location associated with a request-response receive port.
   Make this the primary location	Select this check box if you have more than one receive location for a receive port and you want this receive location to represent the receive port when the port needs to be passed to another entity, such as a business partner, that needs to send messages to your organization. The first receive location created is automatically selected as the primary receive location. This property remains selected and unavailable until you designate a different receive location as the primary.

Note

In case you change or modify Receive location, restart the Isolated Host Worker Processes corresponding to the modified receive location.
