      Hi folks, my setup is as follows. BizTalk receive location published
      as web service. The receive location accepts messages and publishes
      them to the messagebox. An orchestration subscribes to these messages
      and processes them.

      I need some advice on implementing the two scenarios below:

      1. How do I configure the system so that I have the flexibility to
      receive messages throughout the day but the orchestration is only
      turned on for a few hours a day? e.g 2pm to 4pm, messages are sent by
      external systems to the receive location. 4pm, the orchestration is
      started and it starts to process the backlog of messages
      automatically. I cant disable the receive location because the
      external systems will then get errors when they submit. Basically, the
      submission should work but the processing should happen much later.

      2. In such a scenario, where there are a significant number of
      messages awaiting processing, how do I specify that messages of a
      certain type should be processed first (a priority system)

      Crossposted from Google Groups for more visibility, thanks!

       I was able to find a relevant answer to the first part of the question in the following thread. Basically, I should let the orchestration process the messages without interruption and  ‘hold’ the messages at the Send Port using Service Windows. If I do it this way, how can I ensure that when the Send Port is turned on, the high priority (based on a promoted property) messages are sent out first?
