SYMPTOMS

BizTalk Server may place an outbound document into the Suspended queue with the following error message:
The BizTalk Framework timestamp "receiptRequiredBy" has expired. This document is no longer valid.

CAUSE

BizTalk Framework (BTF) Reliable envelopes maintain a relationship with a document interchange even when the document is no longer the same as the original.

297445 FIX: Availability of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 Service Pack 1

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in BizTalk Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in BizTalk Server 2000 Service Pack 1.

MORE INFORMATION

The event log error in the Symptoms section is normal when the time in the expiresAt tag of a reliable envelope has passed. However, the scenario described in this article is as follows:
  1. ServerA sends DocumentA through ChannelA (no mapping) to PortA (configured to use BTF Reliable envelope).
  2. PortA posts DocumentA to an Active Server Page (ASP) page located in a Web site on ServerB.
  3. ServerB.asp calls Submit() and ServerB receives DocumentA and sends the required reliable acknowledgement back to ServerA.
  4. ServerB sends DocumentA through ChannelB (which maps to DocumentB) to PortB (configured to not use an envelope).
  5. PortB posts DocumentB to an ASP page, which causes the error because the ASP page is unavailable for some reason.
  6. DocumentB is put into the Suspended queue (after all retries are exhausted).
  7. Some time later, the problem with the ASP page from step 5 is corrected. The admin re-submits DocumentB from the Suspended queue, which fails with the error message.
