Hello Anon,
There is no way to prioritise receive locations
in BizTalk, however the engine and FILE adapter is pretty good in
delivering multiple files from multiple folders with little performance
degradation. The big factor comes when you are attempting to pick-up
large files (5Mb+)
There is however a small trick you can
implement through the receive location service windows. If, for
example, you want to ‘prioritise’ certain locations over others, you
could set a service window on the lesser priority locations, shutting
them down for a period of time to allow BizTalk to concentrate on
picking up files from the higher priority locations.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Nick.
