Using a Send Port Group Identify the purpose of a send port group and configure a send port group for message routing. Send Port A send port group is a collection of send ports that you can use to send a message through multiple send ports by using a single configuration. This is useful when message processing is complete and a message needs to be sent to multiple destinations. Send port groups are useful, for example, when you need to send a message from a specific business process to three different physical locations. For example, you might need to submit a confirmation message of an invoice that was over $10,000 to an FTP site, an HTTP directory, and a file drop for auditing purposes. If you create three separate send ports—one for each transport type—and then create a send port group consisting of these three send ports, you can create a single filter that will send any messages that meet the filter criteria to all three physical send ports. The filter for a send port group is configured in the same way as a filter for a single send port. You can create send port groups by using either BizTalk Explorer or the BizTalk Administration Console.
