MORE INFORMATION

After you apply this hotfix, if the InterchangeDTA log file is full, BizTalk Server restarts itself with a backoff algorithm. BizTalk Server tries to restart itself in 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 60, 60, and 60 minutes until BizTalk Server succeeds and runs fine for 5 minutes. BizTalk Server must run for at least 5 minutes before the backoff progression is reset back to 1 minute. This backoff algorithm gives the users and administrators time to discover the database log file issue and deal with it.
