processing files one after another

[nets-rac]

I have an orchestration with a file receive port. If I copy a file to
the receive location (while the orchestration is still processing
another file) the orchestration will run again (simultaneously).

How can I achieve that the orchestration will process the files one
after another?

I know that there's is a MSMQ Adapter. But I do not know if I have to
use this adapter for my problem nor how to use this adapter (do I need
a Queuing server definitely).

By the way - I'm using Biztalk 2006

thanks in advance

If you are using 2006 R2, you can try to use "ordered delivery". You find the property in Send Port Properties / Transport Advanced Options.

Hi,

I think you might be looking to do some form of corellation, based on a
property common to both files, it could simply be the receive port, where
both files will go to the same orchestration instance. Or the Ordered receipt
may work, depends on how long your orchestration takes, as it will deliver
each message one at a time, but it does not mean once the orchestration has
finished, and it could be too quick.

If you use correlation you have a chance to slow this down, and force a
sequential flow of messages, for receipt and processing.
