This hotfix changes the way that the conversion-to-Unicode
process is performed in the
receive scenario. After you install the hotfix, you will be using the
MQSeries conversion method. Under this method, the MQSeries function MQGET is
responsible for handling data conversion to Unicode. You may want to stop the
service, and then wait until the Dllhost.exe file has unloaded from processing
before you apply the hotfix. If you do not do this, you will be prompted to
restart your computer.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
This hotfix changes
the conversion method to the default MQSeries conversion method. Additionally,
this hotfix adds registry key values to override this conversion. If you add
the
DisableAutoConversionToUnicode [DWORD] value to the following registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MTBSvc\Parameters
and then set it to
1, the conversion does not occur and raw data is sent to BizTalk.
The registry key is specified on the system that runs the receive component
(for example, on the computer running BizTalk Server). In other words, this is
generic registry key that you cannot specify on a per-job
basis.
