How to Configure Inbound Maps for a Send Port

This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to configure inbound maps for a send port. Inbound maps are used only with dynamic or static solicit-response send ports. You use a map to apply an XSL transformation to a response message received by the port without processing the message through an orchestration. You can add an inbound map, remove a map, or change an existing map to a different one. You can add more than one map to a send port, but each map must have a unique source schema. For background information about maps, see Maps.

Note

The application developer can configure maps during the development process by using the procedure in this topic.

Prerequisites
