How to Configure Backup Transport Options for a Send Port
This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to configure backup transport options for a send port. The backup transport that you specify takes effect in the event the primary transport fails to function. Configuring the primary transport is described in How to Create a Send Port.
Note
For dynamic ports, there are not properties available to configure because transport options are automatically determined at run time.
