Hi Suja,

Refer the discussion here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6fda0f3f-caf2-4adb-8086-66e72948aa3f/can-we-have-single-application-in-iis-for-multiple-service-url-api?forum=biztalkr2adapters

As Arindam has rightly pointed out " there is no straightforward way to apply different rootnodes/namespaces on different JSON messages over the same ReceiveLocation. The requirement to receive JSON and apply the root node means that you will need different Receive Locations/ URLs for the different input message types. "

Hi Rajeshwari,

It is a good way to keep the recieve location seperated application wise as it is easy in development and even if you some how change the behavior to a single api accepting different operation, you might run into problems..

It is always better to have seperate IIS apps and Seperate Recive locations..

As for the maintainablilty and migration part, I would not worry about the migration as you can already ship the IIS application in Biztalk MSI and  when you install the MSi it will take care of the applciation creation.

Answer 4

As all suggested, Keep it this way. 

You individual IIS are already linked individual application and if you are worried about migration when u move these apps, anyway you will be migrating the applications and IIS service gets bundled in the MSI (BizTalk msi or BTDF msi) so you should not be bothered about this.

Keeping it separate is actually good for maintenance as you dont need to bring down all your services if you are making changes to any one.

Its a good practice to keep it separate.

The answer is probably.

Are you using the JSON components on all 94 Receive Locations?

Right now, this is the most important question and will determine what you can consolidate and how.
