TCP Transmitter

Setting the TCP Adapter Configuration Properties for a Dynamic Send Port

A dynamic send port does not provide any transport configuration options in BizTalk Explorer because it is expected that these properties will be provided with the context properties associated with the message. These properties can be set in a custom pipeline or in an orchestration. To set message configuration properties in an orchestration you can do the following:

• Add a Construct Message shape to your orchestration.
• Configure the Construct Message shape to construct a new message. (for example Message_2)
• Add a Message Assignment shape to the Construct Message shape.
• Add code to the Message Assignment shape to initialize the message that you constructed and to set the appropriate configuration properties for the message.

Configuring the TCP Send Port with the BizTalk Server Administration Console

To configure the send port by using the BizTalk Server Administration console, use the following procedure:

To configure variables for a TCP send port:

1. In the BizTalk Server Administration console, create a new send port or double-click an existing send port to modify it. For more information, see How to Create a Send Port. Configure all of the send port options and specify nsoftware.TCP v4 for the Type option in the Transport section of the General tab.
2. On the General tab, in the Transport section, click the Configure button next to Type.
3. In the nsoftware.TCP v4 Transport Properties dialog box, use the following properties to:
