I've never done party configuration for EDI files in BizTalk 2010, so I need some simple info.
I'm dropping xml files to BizTalk and creating HIPAA 835 files out. I get how you set up the basic party info to put all the appropriate information in the ISA and GS fields, but how do I set up a third party (i.e. US, THEM1 and THEM2)? I'm only dropping to a single send port, so how can I let BT know which party to use for which file?
Thanks.
A Send Port can only be associated with a single Party. Messages being sent out the configured Send Port will have the party configuration applied to their ISA and GS fields after the responsible port has been identified by the EDI Send pipeline.
What you need to do is have multiple Send Ports configured to drop to a shared file-drop location, with a Promoted Property discerning between the messages that allows routing to the relevant Send Port.

I'm troubleshooting a very generic BizTalk error that is resulting in transmission/routing failures (see below). Even though my receive location is started, it does not appear to be listening for anything. When I run a query for all Activation Subscriptions, the receive port is not showing up in the list. I cannot figure out why it is not subscribing to my send ports.
Error:
The published message could not be routed because no subscribers were found. This error occurs if the subscribing orchestration or send port has not been enlisted, or if some of the message properties necessary for subscription evaluation have not been promoted. Please use the Biztalk Administration console to troubleshoot this failure.
One Way Receive locations don't have Active subscriptions, only Orchestrations, Send Port Groups and Send Ports do. For a One Way your Send Port should be listening to your Receive Port rather than your Receive Port to your Send Port.
If it is a Request / Response port then see section below
One Way Receive Location
A Receive Location picks up from an external location and it goes via the associated receive port and publishes into the message box.
As your error clearly indicates that the message has been published to the message box the receive port is obviously working (although maybe not correctly) or it has been published back from a send port or orchestration.
What you have to check is
The context properties on the suspended message using BizTalk Administrator
The Subscription belonging to the Send Port / Orchestration that you expect to handle the message
Compare the two and see what does not match
The possibilities are
Your Receive Port is not promoting the properties you expect. Check the receive pipeline and promoted properties on the schema. If your pipeline is set to pass thru, only some of the standard promoted properties will be there and no message type or promoted properties from the schema, if you need those promoted properties set your pipeline to XMLReceive or a custom pipeline with either a XML Disassembler or a Flat File one.
Your Send Port / Orchestration are not in an Enlisted state, if they aren't enlisted then no subscriptions are published for them. Enlist or Start them.
Your Send port/Orchestration subscription is wrong (does not match the message context properties), correct them so that they match.
Request/Response Receive Port
For a Request Response Receive location/port it creates an Instance Subscription for a message which looks for BTS.EpmRRCorrelationToken (which contains details of the hostinstance, port and a GUID) and BTS.RouteDirectToTP == True
It works out of the box if you either have a Request/Response Send port subscribing to a Request/Response receive port, or if you use a Request/Response Port in an Orchestration. If you use separate Receive Send Ports in the Orchestration you need to set the above properties in your message construct shape manually.

Thanks for the clarification on receive locations. I'm new to BizTalk, as I have recently inherited the role of supporting it. The problem ended up being an incorrect reference in an endpoint behavior extension in the receive location.
I have a very simple BizTalk application that is polling the records from a SQL server and does some transformation then save it to the Oracle DB. I used BizTalk 2010, SQL server 2012, Oracle 11g each is hosted on their own separate server. BizTalk was setup properly and has been working fine.
I have attached the orchestration diagram for clarity. Nothing fancy, I have set up the sending and receiving port successfully (can connect to all the database, and I used typedpolling for inbound and insert operation for the outbound. The project can be compiled and deployed successfully.
I have imported the bindings to BizTalk Admin Console and can see both bindings on the receive port and send port. The following image shows the bindings for send port is there.
However, when I tried to configure the Orchestration, I can only see the receive Ports in the selection but the send ports information is not available for me to pick.
From my limited exposure to BizTalk in the past, I can select the send port once I have imported the bindings to the console. I wonder what I have done incorrectly this time?
Usually a table operation such as an insert will be a request (the insert) and the response which shows it has succeeded (with an array/list of ID's of the new records). If you look the port that was created from the bindings you will see both a Send pipeline and a Receive Pipeline. Just make the port in the Orchestration a Request/Response, and consume the response (even if you don't do anything with it). Then you can bind the logical port the the actual port one as the logical port will then match the port.
I tried to follow the tutorial to send an SMTPemail form an orchestration, I attaches the link:
Sending SMTP email from within BizTalk Orchestration (eggheadcafe.com)
and few thing was not clear:
must you add a host and hot instance to send an SMTPemail?
I follow the link and I added multi-part message (the message going to be send to the mail) and the construct message did not recognize it?
For #1 I can assure you that you do not need to create a new host and host instance to get the tutorial running.
You may however want to create multiple hosts and host instances if you plan to create multiple smtp send adapters with different smtp host configurations (in a real life / production environment).
I've downlaoded the nsoftware sftp adapter for Biztalk.
I created a few send & receive ports within Biztalk admin just to see if it works, and it does.
I now need to build an orchestration with an sftp send port and sftp receive port.
I've added a reference to the adapter dll and included it in the project, but I'm not sure how to wire it up to my 2 ports in the .odx file.
Can anyone shove me in the right direction?
The only reason you'd have a project-level reference to the adapter DLL is if you need to use the property schemas for the nsoftware adapter; otherwise, the way you'd use it is the same way you'd use any other BizTalk adapter:
Declare your logical ports in your orchestration. Make sure you mark them as "Specify Later" (or direct/dynamic, if you're doing more advanced scenarios).
Build your orchestration as usual
Deploy
Go to the BizTalk administration console and create receive locations/send ports as necessary specifying the nsoftware SFTP adapter. You'll be able to enter all the adapter configuration settings there.
If you could share any more details about what you're trying to do, maybe I could offer more specific advice.
I am using a BizTalk orchestration to kick off an SSIS package. This package is essentially doing transformation on behalf of BizTalk on a very large volume of data. I have run into a problem as to the best way of specify in the drop location for SSIS use after the transformation. If this were a 'normal' BizTalk orchestration it would be easy to set up a send port. I would like to make a fake send port in BizTalk so that the admin could configure the send location from BizTalk and then have BizTalk pass that value into SSIS. However, if you configure a send port without actually attaching a connector to it, then it will not show up as an available binding in BizTalk admin.
Is there a way to get around this and force the admin to bind it before starting the orchestration? Any other ideas to allow for an easy configuration of this round-about process?
What I ended up doing was creating a decision shape that was true on one side so it never would go down the false branch. In essence I tricked BizTalk, so I could attach a connector to the send port that I am interested. Earlier in the orchestration I retrieved the value of the file location for the 'config' send port, so I can could send it to SSIS.
