When you try to send the message from the client to BizTalk, do you see the
messages in the outgoing queue inside the MSMQ admin? What status do they
have?
If I remember correctly, If you try to send a message to a MSMQt that does
not exist (by not exist that is no enabled receive function) they will never
make it there. The sending host will just queue up all the messages in the
outgoing queues and say Host Not Found or something like that.
We struggled with your same problem for some time as well. We found that in
order to get our client service to send the messages to BizTalk we needed to
add the FormatName for the queue definition like this:
FormatName:Direct=OS:ComputerName\Private$\QueueName
We also found that if the connection was lost, we had to reboot both the
sending and receiving computers seems to make things work again. We have not
looked into this further as of yet and this is obviously not a good solution.
Hope this helps.
