The BTConfAssistant.exe is being used to create the channels, ports, document definitions and organizations in BizTalk to use with the eConnect Sample documents.

Create an eConnect Document Definition by using BizTalk Messaging Manager.

Enter a name of eConnect, and click next.

• In the Messaging Port Properties window, select “New XLANG Schedule”.

• Accept the defaults on the Envelope Information window and click next.
• On the Security Information window, leave the ‘Create a channel for this messaging port’ option marked and change the Channel Type to ‘From an Application’.
• Click Finish.

Continue using BizTalk Messaging Manager to create a new channel.

• Name the channel eConnect. Do not mark the ‘This is a receipt channel.’ checkbox.
