Do we have any Event Driven functionality in Biztalk

Question

Hi,
Do we have any in-build event driven functionality in Biztalk? time-bound like.
Few scenarios:
1. If orchestration is running more then 5 mints then it should be alerted to admin.
2. Alert need to be raised if bulk of messages are suspended.
Thanks

Hi Narasaiah,
If you don't have resource to go for SCOM/BizTalk360, then
You can consider using some operation scripts using WMI/Operations DL/SQL query which can be executed periodically using a schedule task (or as service).
This script can check for the condition as you have specified and send a notification.
Following scripts can give you some idea. Note: These scripts are just to give you an idea and get started, they are not tested.
WMI for an orchestration which is Active state for 5 minutes:
strComputer = "."
Dim dtCurretTime, dt5Mins
dtCurretTime = Now ()
dt5Mins = DateAdd("h",-5,dtCurretTime)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\MicrosoftBizTalkServer")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
"SELECT * FROM MSBTS_ServiceInstance WHERE ServiceStatus = 4 AND ActivationTime >= dt5Mins",,48)
If colItems.Count >0
Wscript.Echo "Instance" & colItems.ServiceName" has been in Active state"
End If
Here the "MSBTS_ServiceInstance" would give you the details about the orchestration
And SQL query to get the count of suspended message:
SELECT
count(InstancesSuspended.)uidInstanceID
FROM InstancesSuspended
LEFT OUTER JOIN [Services]
on InstancesSuspended.uidServiceID = [Services].uidServiceID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Modules
on Modules.nModuleID = [Services].nModuleID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Instances
on Instances.uidInstanceId = InstancesSuspended.uidInstanceID
WHERE InstancesSuspended.DtCreated between DATEADD(dd,-7,GETUTCDATE()) and GETUTCDATE()
and InstancesSuspended.nErrorCategory=0
Instances.nState = 4 or Instances.nState = 32
//Instances.nState as State -- 4 = Suspended (resumable), 32 = Suspended (not resumable)
ORDER BY InstancesSuspended.dtCreated desc
As mentioned, fine-tune these scripts, run them in periodically and send notification if the condition matches.
