Hi Ramesh ,
Enterprise Single Sign on service is used to store the receive and send port configurations of BizTalk. The error comes usually if your SSO server is not started or the SSO service is not running on the SSO server. Login to the SSO server (it is same where
BTS is installed in a single server environment) and check the service if it is running or not from the services manager. You can type services.msc on the run command to access the services manager console. View the Enterprise Single Sign on status that it
is started or not. If it is stopped start the service.
If you dont find SSO service i think than you need to reconfigure your BizTalk Environment.
Remember the service depends upon SQL Server check that the SQL Server services are running fine or not. Here is a link to explain more about SSO
