Step 6: Create a Send Port to Deliver Query Messages

To create the HIS_Send send port

  1. In the BizTalk Server Administration Console, right-click Send Ports, point to New, and then select Static One-way Send Port.

  2. In the Send Port Properties dialog box, do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Connection Name Type HIS_SendMLLP.
    Host Type localhost.
    Port Type 24000.
  4. In the Send Port Properties dialog box, for Send Pipeline, select BTAHL72XPipelines.BTAHL72XSendPipeline.

  5. In the Console Tree, click Filters, and then do the following:

    Use this To do this
    Property For Property, select BTS.MessageType.
    Operator Select == from the drop-down list.
