When considering developing of a business process which receive the incoming messages in mass multiple receive location using FILE or FTP adapters, one should know that a limitation exists depending on hardware performance which runs BizTalk servers.
In a particular project, we encounter this limit where 200 receive locations activated, both File and FTP adapters.
When large amount of messages arrives to those receive locations, BizTalk stops to collect these messages, and large amount of waiting threads can be found using performance monitor.
Our solution was to develop a specific .NET service which locate the messages in the locations and move the messages to one location, defined as the only one receive location.
