BizTalk Send Port Not Working

Question

I have two send ports in different applications with the similar settings for adapters. Both just filter on message type (BTS.MessageType) from the Message Box. One is able to get message from Message and send to the destination server while the other is able to get message from the MessageBox but not able to send it to the destination server.

Adapter Type - Microsoft Dynamics AX AIF Adapter

Error Message - Unable to find the sever name specified.

Both the Send Ports have the exact same settings for security and destination except for the filter expression for getting different message.... I am able to add the second ports filter expression in the working send port with an OR conditions and get all the transactions to work. This is a temporary fix and the team needs to have the correct send port doing the work. I have even tried creating a new send port and deleting the old one in the "NOT WORKING APPLICATION" without any success. Anyone seen this behavior?

Please Help!!!

Answer 1

Can you stop the working send port temporarily and then try? This seems to be strange haven't heard of this yet. Please check that the configurations for the server you are connecting are correct.

1. Stopped the good port and tested
2. Created another port in the Bad Application and tested
3. Deleted the Bad Port and tried in the Bad application.

Nothing seems to work. Configurations seem to be good. I am stumped.

Hi,

The first thing that need to be determined is that whether the port is failing because of it being in another application.  Please do the following steps:

Please take backup of binding files before doing anything.

1. Stop all bad send ports and enable only the working one where you have placed the OR condition to make it work.  Temporarily remove the good filter and OR and leave just the bad filter and check if it is working.

2. If results are satisfied after step 1, then create a new send port similar to the the one in step 1 and set the filter to good filter.  If both are working, it means no issue of side by side send ports.

3. If the results are satisfied in step2, then move the send port (the one that has issues) to bad application using BizTalk admin console.  You can do it by right clicking the send port and select Move to application.

Please post your results.

Regards,
