How to Create a Send Port Group

This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to create a send port group in a BizTalk application and then add send ports to it. You can add static one-way send ports only to a send port group. A send port group must contain at least one send port to route messages.

You can add a send port that exists in a different application. If you do this, you must add a reference from the application containing the send port group to the application containing the send port. For instructions, see How to Add a Reference to Another Application.

Prerequisites

To perform the procedure in this topic, you must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group. For more detailed information on permissions, see Permissions Required for Deploying and Managing a BizTalk Application.
