Hi Shaheer,

It is interesting you mentioned this limitation of MSMQ, we have never encountered this limitation. In testing a failure scenario, we have in the past had a BizTalk receive function temporarily poll a remote transactional queue, and it processed the messages normally. Are you saying that you can poll the queue, but there is no transaction involved? For a more permanent solution I would recommend your suggestions as I am not sure what stability problems you would encounter in the receive function by constantly polling a foreign queue (i.e. would it constantly disable if network connectivity was intermittently lost etc).

What we did was probably not recommended, but it worked as an interim solution during an outage.
