BizTalk Related Issues

When restarting a BizTalk host I experiences that it would not restart. The service was stuck in a "Stop Pending" state. It seem that the only way to get the host back up, is to terminate the process and the start it. When i tried to restart fro BizTalk Administration Console nothing happen. I had to user the End Task function in Task Manager To get the correct instance i needed to find the correct instance. The only way to be sure to get the right one is to find the Process ID (PID) This might be found by using the command prompt using tasklist /SVC /fi "imagename eq btsntsvc.exe" This will list all BizTalk hosts like this Image Name              PID  Services ============= ================================ BTSNTSvc.exe            2376 BTSSvc$Rcv_x32_1_FTP_H BTSNTSvc.exe            2396 BTSSv...

From time to time I get the 'HTTP Error 503 - The Service is nnavailable' when I try to access my BAM portal Usually I spend a few minutes before I remember how to get past this. It is the account configured to run bam that needs to have its password updated. Most of you should change yor password on a regular basis, and its easy to forget to reconfigure BAM with the new passord. So.. here is the solution: Open Microsoft BizTalk ServerConfiguratiuon tool and update the password for the user running BAM portal Apply configuration, restart ISS to be sure (iisreset) and voia : BAM portal up and runnign again

I am creating a orch that has filter on the initial receive shape. When building I got these error: Error 1 : identifier 'MySolutionname' does not exist in 'MyOrchName'; are you missing an assembly reference? Error 2: cannot find symbol 'MySolutionname' Error 3: an 'activate' predicate rvalue must be a string, character, boolean or numeric literal Error 4 : illegal 'activate' predicate The solution to this is to put the filter expression in sting literals (i.e. “double quotes”)
