Schema field promotion changes do not take effect until the BizTalk Server Application Service is restarted (835865)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Partner Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Standard Edition

SYMPTOMS

After you modify a deployed schema and then re-deploy the schema, changes to the schema do not take effect and field promotion changes are not seen.

RESOLUTION

The Microsoft BizTalk Server Application Service must be stopped and then restarted after the modified schema is redeployed.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When a deployed schema is redeployed, any changes in the assembly of the schema are promulgated to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). The updated assembly is loaded into the default application domain (AppDomain) from the GAC. If the assembly already exists in the default AppDomain, the assembly in the AppDomain is not updated until the AppDomain is recycled by restarting the BizTalk Server Application Service.
