Enlisting and Starting Send Ports and Orchestrations

Enlisting and Starting Send Ports and Orchestrations

 

 

Enlisting a port enables a subscription in the BizTalk MessageBox. If a send port is not enlisted, a message published to the MessageBox will not be subscribed by the send port. If a subscriber is not found, a BizTalk error would be thrown, indicating that a matching subscription could not be found and the message instance would be suspended, but resumable in the MessageBox.

 

If a message is published to be the BizTalk MessageBox and a send port is not started, the message instance will sit in the MessageBox, waiting for the subscribing send port to be started.

 

Enlisting an orchestration is similar to enlisting a send port artifact. Enlisting an orchestration allows it to set up subscriptions with the MessageBox so it can receive messages published to it. Starting an orchestration allows an orchestration to physically consume and process a message.
