You receive a "BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard failed to create Management database" error message in the BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard (887077)


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

When you run the Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard, you may receive the following error message:
Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard failed to create Management database "BizTalkMgmtDb" on server SQLServer.
There are two or more jobs named 'Backup BizTalk Server'. Specify @job_id instead of @job_name to uniquely identify the job.
SQL script file: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004\Schema\BTS_Administration_Logic.sql"
SQL command batch: "BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE @JobID BINARY(16)
DECLARE @ReturnCod..."
Note In this error message, SQLServer is a placeholder for the actual name of the computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server where the BizTalkMgmtDb database is being created.

If you click Retry on the dialog box, you receive the error message again. If you click Cancel on the dialog box, the BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard rolls back your configuration.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • A previous BizTalk Server configuration has created SQL Server Agent jobs on the computer that is running SQL Server that you point the Configuration Wizard to.
  • The name of the computer that is running SQL Server was changed after the original SQL Server Agent jobs were created.

CAUSE

The BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard creates several SQL Server Agent jobs that maintain BizTalk Server databases. If you rename a computer that is running SQL Server, you cannot modify or delete any one of the SQL Server Agent jobs that were created before the computer that is running SQL Server was renamed.

  1. Rename the computer that is running SQL Server back to the original name.
  2. Delete the SQL Server Agent jobs that were created by the BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard.
  3. Rename the computer that is running SQL Server to the new name.
  4. Run the BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Wizard.
