Importing msi without bindings – deletes password in send port

      In my development environment I export a msi-file containing, among other things, a send pipeline. No bindings at all is included – the check boxes "Bindings" and "Global Parties" are unchecked.. When importing this msi in production, an existing and active FTP send port which use the send pipeline loses it password. Every thing else is unchanged. The send port is updated by the msi file import only regarding it's pipeline and since the msi shouldn't include any binding information at all you may expect that the global party information (eg password) would remain untouched. The send port is connected to an orchestration which is included in the msi file.

       Is this a feature or a bug?

      It sounds like the typical feature (bug) that you should expect after awhile.  If it's Near 100% repeatable, you're lucky.  Now you know what to look for. Periodically, and I mean somewhere between 1 and 99 times out of a hundred, I (and several folks I know) lose binding information, maps, and pipelines after deploying.  Since this occurs in dev so often, I make sure to save Bindings regularly and even search-and-replace ****** with the actual (single) password every time I save it…but I still check on import or before adding to resources in the application.

      Have you informed Microsoft about this?  You may as well add it to the pile just so someone gets a chance to look at it.
