In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, when you use the
Resume command on a message that is in a Suspended (resumable) state in
the Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) tool, the message is processed through a
destination send port even if the send port is not started. You expect the
message to remain in the Suspended (resumable) state until the send port is
started.
This
behavior is by design.
By default, messages are not automatically sent through send
ports if they are in an Enlisted or Stopped state. In the HAT tool, messages
that are destined for these send ports appear in the Suspended (resumable)
state. However, if you use the
Resume command to manually resume a message that is in the Suspended
(resumable) state in the HAT tool, the message is sent. This behavior occurs
even if the destination send port is not in a
Started state.
BizTalk Server lets you enlist a send port that
will not automatically send any messages through the send port if the send port
is not in the
Started state. This option lets you use the
Resume command to manually select the messages that you want to send
through your send ports on the selected messages in the HAT tool.
