• First off, I apologize for not responding to this thread earlier. I did not have an account at the forum and recently created one.

    Service Broker messages are always sent to a service. Each service is associated with a queue and each queue can have an activation procedure that wakes up when messages arrive at the queue. You can also specify the maximum number of activation procedures that Service Broker can instantiate for the queue.
