BizTalk "Receive Location" status remains disabled despite "Enable" attribute equal true in binding file

Question

I imported the sample binding file from "BizTalk Server Administration Console" -> "Import -> Bindings...".

It created receive location successfully but despite in the file <Enable>true</Enable>, it created locations with status as disabled.

Is it possible to make it enable with the binding file?

Answer 1

IMHO is not possible, you have to import the bindings and then enable the Receive Locations through the Admin Console or PowerShell or WMI, ...
