Hi
I am new to BizTalk and am looking into the possibility of prioritizing the folders that BizTalk will poll.
I will be creating various physical file directories on various servers as the receive locations for flat files and would like to specify which of the folders should receive special attention as they will contain more files to be used by BizTalk.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

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.

Hi Nick
Is there anywhere else that prioritising can be setup or was I correct in looking to use it on the Receive locations?
Thanks

Hi Byron,
There isn’t that much more you can do re. prioritisation, however you could concentrate of getting the setup of your Hosts and Host Instances correct to ensure separation of adapter send/receive and orchestration processing.
Neil Thompson has some good points on his blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/neilth/archive/2007/07/31/biztalk-server-2006-enterprise-production-considerations-part-2-host-and-host-instances.aspx
