Test the biztalk application with same folder

A really simple tip that is great to use when building demos and proof of concepts using the file adapter.

1. Create one folder (docs) and place all your test files there.

2. Configure the receive location to use the docs folder and “Copy*.xml” as the filter (for Server 2008, Vista and 7 use “*Copy*.xml”

3. Configure all your send ports to send to the docs folder with filenames like “Order_%MessageID%.xml”.

When you test, select the file and use CTRL+C, CTRL+V to create a copy.

You can then test your application from one folder.
