Creating a Channel on the Source Server
A channel is a set of properties that you use to provide BizTalk Server with the rules for processing a document that it receives. After a channel processes a document, the document is passed to its associated messaging port or distribution list to be transported to the specified destination. You can create one or more channels for a messaging port or distribution list.
To create a channel on the source server
- On the source BizTalk Server, click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click BizTalk Messaging Manager.
- In BizTalk Messaging Manager, in the left pane, click the MessagingPorts link in the Search for other items area, and then click Search Now.
