RESOLUTION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Increase the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) Connection timeout and Command timeout for the XLANG Scheduler to 300 seconds (from the default of 60 seconds) by making the following Registry entries:

  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2. Locate and click the following key in the registry:

    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\1.0

  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Key, and then add the following registry key to the registry:

    Key name: XLANG Scheduler

  4. Locate and click the following key in the registry:

    \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\1.0\XLANG Scheduler

  5. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry values to increase the ADO connection timeout value for XLANG:

    Value name: ADOConnectionTimeout
    Data type: REG_DWORD
    Radix: Decimal
    Value data: 300

  6. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry values to increase the ADO command timeout value for XLANG:

    Value name: ADOCommandTimeout
    Data type: REG_DWORD
    Radix: Decimal
    Value data: 300

  7. Quit Registry Editor.
