BUG: The receive location may be disabled if the Transport Type property is set to FILE and the path of the receive location is not available to all servers in BizTalk Server 2004 (842458)


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

SYMPTOMS

You have multiple servers that participate in the same Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 host. When these servers have a receive location with the Transport Type property set to FILE, the receive location may become disabled. BizTalk Server 2004 may not process the received file and an entry that is similar to the following may be added to the Application log of one or more of the participating servers:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: BizTalk Server 2004
Event Category: BizTalk Server 2004
Event ID: 5649
Date: 4/30/2004
Time: 11:51:50 AM
User: N/A
Computer: BizTalkServer
Description: The receive location "c:\filesource\drop\*.txt" is shutting down. Details:"The Messaging Engine failed while notifying an adapter of its configuration. ".

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the BizTalk Server-based servers that are associated with the BizTalk Server host cannot access the Address (URI) property that is specified for the receive location.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use one of the followig methods:
  • Configure the Address (URI) property for the receive location to point to a shared folder that is available to all the BizTalk Server-based servers that are associated with the BizTalk Server host that is associated with the receive location.
  • Configure the Address (URI) property for the receive location to point to a local file share. Then, create the exact file structure that is referenced by the Address (URI) property on each BizTalk Server-based server that is associated with the BizTalk Server host that is associated with the receive location.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a receive location on a BizTalk Server-based server that is a member of a group that contains other BizTalk Server-based servers.
  2. Configure the Transport Type property of the receive location as FILE.
  3. Configure the Address (URI) property of the receive location to reference a local folder that does not exist on one or more of the other BizTalk Server-based servers in the group.
  4. Restart BizTalk Server 2004.

    The receive location will become disabled.
  5. Review the Application logs of the BizTalk Server-based servers in the group where the local folder that is referenced by the receive location does not exist.
