Hotfix KB2830546 for BizTalk Server 2013?

This is a question for MS:
I am a bit puzzled by the fact that a BizTalk Server hotfix is all of a sudden rolled out automatically through Windows Update?
Also this hotfix is marked "Important", but reading the description (The verical scroll bar on the target schema....) hardly seems critical to a production environment. 
When examining the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830546
it seems that there are two additional fixes inside it:
Note This update also resolves the issues that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) articles:•
2832136
 FIX: User cannot perform certain database-related operations in BizTalk Server 2013 
2832137
 FIX: BAM tools cannot be configured in a multi-node BizTalk Server 2013 environment 
Now these seems more critical! Is that the reason that it is pushed automatically? And why are two important updates "hidden" inside a "non-important vertical scroll bar" hotfix?
Can we expect other hotfixes for BizTalk to be pushed automatically in the future? (After all they used to require manual installation from CU's etc., which I found best practice since we then have the ability to install them in a test environment first)?
Morten la Cour

You can decide if you want to have automatic updates for BizTalk or not. BizTalk Server 2013 will release all updates through windows update (optionally you can download these manually). Why it only showed that one element is probably a bug, I'll inform
MS about this topic. But yes, MS have started pushing BizTalk updates through windows update in BizTalk 2013.

    The dynamic ports use a pipeline including a custom pipeline component which I can confirm is available in the correct directory
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013\Pipeline Components
    I’m a bit stuck at what to try now, I have option where I could recreate the dynamic ports from scratch in the orchestrations and redeploy to dev in the hope it’s something
    that VS2012 didn’t handle too gracefully when converting the project. 
    Two things.
    1. That's what I would do first, recreate (really just change and reset the properties) the Orchestration Ports in Visual Studio.
    2. Probably not related but, Custom Pipeline Components should not be placed in the Pipeline Components folder.  All Custom Pipeline Components should be in the GAC only.  The Pipeline Components folder
    is a compatibility vestige from BizTalk Server 2004.

  • Domain users creation for BizTalk server 2013 installation

    Hi all,
    I am setting up biztalk 2013 environment clustered BizTalk server and single sql server. I would like to know the list of domain users and domain groups to be created and which groups these users to be a member of. I am also installing and would be using
    Sharepoint to develop BizTalk interfaces.
    Thanks 
    Please Help
    Vikram

    Hi Vikram ,
    You need to create below Windows group on your AD before you start your BizTalk  Configuration .
    1)SSO Administrators:Administrator of the Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) service.
    2)SSO Affiliate Administrators :Administrators of certain SSO affiliate applications.Can create/delete SSO affiliate applications, administer user mappings, and set credentials for affiliate application users.
    3)BizTalk Server Administrators:Has the least privileges necessary to perform administrative tasks Can deploy solutions, manage applications, and resolve message processing issues.
    To perform administrative tasks for adapters, receive and send handlers, and receive locations, the BizTalk Server Administrators must be added to the Single Sign-On Affiliate Administrators.
    4)BizTalk Server Operators:Has a low privilege role with access only to monitoring and troubleshooting actions
    5) BizTalk Application Users:The default name of the first In-Process BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager.Use one BizTalk Host Group for each In-Process host in your environment.Includes accounts with access to In-Process
    BizTalk Hosts (hosts processes in BizTalk Server, BTSNTSvc.exe).
    6)BizTalk Isolated Host Users :The default name of the first Isolated BizTalk Host Group created by Configuration Manager. Isolated BizTalk hosts not running on BizTalk Server, such as HTTP and SOAP.Use one BizTalk Isolated Host Group for
    each Isolated Host in your environment.
    7)BAM Portal Users :Has access to BAM Portal Web site.
    8)BizTalk SharePoint Adapter Enabled Hosts :Has access to Windows SharePoint Services Adapter Web Service
    9)BizTalk B2B Operators Group : A new BizTalk role that reduces the onus on the Administrators to perform all Party management operation. This role allows windows users associated with the role to perform all party management operations.
    Now coming to domain User , you can have single -multiple setting were you can run SSO ,InProcess and Isolated on different domain user  .  You can also run all the configuration settings on single user as well .
    Thanks

  • BAM Portal configuration error in BizTalk Server 2013 R2

    I have tried 2 attempts to build out a BizTalk Server 2013 R2, I have followed the MSDN Install instructions, and I keep on getting an error when configuring BAM Portal. I have the logfile available, I need to know what the experts need to see in order to
    give me an answer. Understand that we have been using BizTalk Server 2013 for the last two years, and a new developer wants the R2 version and BAM Portal configured. As an administrator I have fought this to no end, and now I have enough evidence to go back
    to our project manager and explain why you do not install every feature on a server. Prove me wrong EXPERTS!

    " I need to know what the experts need to see in order to give me an answer."
    Experts needs:
    1) Little background of the issue you are facing.
    2) The log file generated.
    3) The configuration of your server.
    "now I have enough evidence to go back to our project manager and explain why you do not install every
    feature on a server."
    Disagree, It is indeed possible to install all the components and feature on a server. Somewhere someone would have installed BizTalk 2013 R2 and all its components in exactly same server configuration successfully in which you are trying to achieve, the
    only difference could be a missing Package, Patch, Cumulative Update, Service or any configuration miss at your end.

  • Problem with BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter on Cloud VM

    All, 
    We have deployed Microsoft Biztalk Server 2013 Enterprise edition on a cloud VM. We are facing an issue with SFTP adapter to receive. Following are the details; 
    On this VM, we are facing an issue with BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter. The SFTP location can receive and send message through SFTP clients and .Net code. But using BizTalk server 2013 SFTP adapter we are only able to send the file on SFTP location but
    could not receive the files from same location.
    We are getting  just one line error in system event log that is :
    Event#7011. A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication service.

  • BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter with private key - Did not poll any files

    Hello, 
    We have a requirement to connect SFTP secure site with the private key and polling files.   Initially I have
    tested BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter receiver Port using  Bitvise SSH SFTP Server tool and it was working perfectly in our local network environment( with public private key authentication).
    However when we connected to Client SFTP server with private key authentication, It successfully connected to SFTP Server but
    did not poll any files from SFTP Site.  I added only one file to SFTP Server ( 145 kb file) for testing purpose.
    However BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Send Adapter is working well with the same configuration.
    I could not find any errors in Event viewer also.  I can download\upload file using WinSCP tool .
    So I downloaded nSoftware SFTP Adapter trial version and deployed on server. nSoftware SFTP adapter  is also working find
    without any issues for Client SFTP Site.
     This is the configuration on SFTP Receive Adapter
    This is how SFTP Server download folder permission configured. I have got this details using WinSCP tool. 
    <o:p></o:p>
    Appreciate your help on this.<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks<o:p></o:p>
    PrabathD<o:p></o:p>

    BizTalk Adapter for SFTP is where the polling logic is implemented. It is not part of the SFTP Client logic. any SFTP Client is for User Interaction and you do what you want/when you want.
    The BizTalk Receive however is for purposes of automation and the adapter polls the receive location using the credentials every polling interval to check for the files matching the filter. When it find a file, it will read and publish to message box or
    submit to pipeline for processing. Your setting the polling interval to 0 (ZERO) might actually be disabling the polling.
    Set your poll interval to a non-zero value and check the behavior.
    Regards.

  • BizTalk Server 2013 and deployment MSI with dynamic send ports

    Hello community, wonder if any help out there for this odd problem.
    Deployment of application msi fails into BizTalk 2013 prod environment, fails when deploying the project dll that contains all the orchestrations,
    and reports a failure to apply early bindings.  The only early bindings in this project are dynamic send ports.  I cannot recreate the problem in in my QAS environment where deployments of the same msi works fine.  
    I can build an msi without any bindings at all except for the dynamically created ones, and this also display the same behaviour on import.  
    I have test deployed a 2nd unrelated app that also uses dynamic send ports, and this displays the problem.  
    Adding the assembly directly to BizTalk console displays the same behaviour.
    Deployment of msi apps without dynamic send ports are ok.
    The dynamic ports use a pipeline including a custom pipeline component which I can confirm is available in the correct directory
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013\Pipeline Components
    No specific further detail is available in the error except.
    Import Wizard[09/05/2014 08:20:47]: Error in Importing Application
    Import Wizard[09/05/2014 08:20:47]: Change requests failed for some resources.
    BizTalkAssemblyResourceManager failed to complete end type change request.
    Unable to deploy early bindings.
    Failed to update binding information.
    Error in the application.
    Other information that may be relevant:
    The main difference between QAS and PROD is that PROD is a two node cluster.  Import behaviour is the same if attempted on either node.  Assemblies are installed in both nodes currently.
    The dynamic ports are set on handlers that are non-clustered hosts (all are for adapter type SMTP).
    I have ensured that all the adapter handlers are identically setup in both environments.
    The project files were migrated to BizTalk 2013 from BizTalk 2010, imported and then converted using VS 2012.
    The msi has installed the assemblies as per usual and they do exist in the .net 4 gac
    There is a reference to a shared resource in a different application, this application is installed and imported ok.
    I’m a bit stuck at what to try now, I have option where I could recreate the dynamic ports from scratch in the orchestrations and redeploy to dev in the hope it’s something that VS2012 didn’t handle too gracefully
    when converting the project.  I could move the functionality into a helper class and forget about using dynamic sends, rather not go down that route.  I'm still suspecting this is small difference in setup
    of the group between QAS and PROD but I can't see anything jumping out.
    Any comments are most welcome.

    The dynamic ports use a pipeline including a custom pipeline component which I can confirm is available in the correct directory
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013\Pipeline Components

  • BizTalk Server 2013 R2 EDI EDIFACT custom Target Namespace is not being used

    I have a client that has a partner that doesn't use the "out of the box" BizTalk EDIFACT 97A DELFOR schema. I'm using BizTalk Server 2013 R2.  I need to use a custom target namespace.  I have created a custom schema for EFACT_D97A_DELFOR with
    a different namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006_<partnername>. 
    In the Parties agreement/Transaction Set Settings/Local Host Settings, I have the following in a separate row under the "Default", UNH2.1=DELFOR, UNH2.2=D, UNH2.3=97A and TargetNamespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006_<partnername>
    It wants to use the out of the box schema from the error below but I need it to use the custom schema. If I change the input file with a UH2.5 value along with changing the root node to match it EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_<UNH2.5), it works but the partner
    will not be sending this, so it's not an option.
    Error details: An output message of the component "Unknown " in receive pipeline "Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.DefaultPipelines.EdiReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.EdiPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"
    is suspended due to the following error:
         Error encountered during parsing. The Edifact transaction set with id '' contained in interchange (without group) with id '000010080', with sender id '<senderid>', receiver id '<receiverid>' is being suspended with following
    errors:
    Error: 1 (Miscellaneous error)
    70: Finding the document specification by message type "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006#EFACT_D97A_DELFOR" failed. Verify the schema deployed properly.
    Error: 2 (Miscellaneous error)
    71: Transaction Set or Group Control Number Mismatch
    Error: 3 (Miscellaneous error)
    29: Invalid count specified at interchange, group or message level
    Any thoughts for this issue?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    All,
    Because the trading partner is not sending the UNH2.5, UNG2.1 and UNG2.2 values in the incoming message, the EDIFACT custom targetnamespace schema will not be used.  I created a decode custom pipeline component where I inject the UNH2.5 element,changed
    the rootnode to the trading partner specific schema to  EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_XYZ (where "XYZ" is the value in the UNH2.5) and in the Party agreement->TransactionSetSettings->LocalHostSettings default row specifying the UNH2.1, UNH2.2
    and UNH2.5, it will then use the custom schema(http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/EDI/EDIFACT/2006#EFACT_D97A_DELFOR_XYZ.  I could've injected the UNG segment
    and used a custom target namespace and not changed the rootnode of the custom schema but didn't want to add all that extra segment information.
    The example below assumes that the UNH segment only has values "up to" UNH2.4 only and appends the UNH2.5.  Uses the UNA segement to dynamically set the componentDataElementSeparator.
    //UNA segment e.g. UNA:+.? '
    //this example above has ' as the segmentTerminator, : as the componentDataElementSeparator, + as the dataElementSeparator
    string unaSegment = messageBody.Substring(0, messageBody.ToUpper().IndexOf("UNA") + 9);
    string componentDataElementSeparator = unaSegment.Substring(3, 1);
    string dataElementSeparator = unaSegment.Substring(4, 1);
    string segmentTerminator = unaSegment.Substring(8, 1);
    string UNH_Segment = messageBody.Substring(messageBody.ToUpper().IndexOf("UNH"));
    UNH_Segment = UNH_Segment.Substring(0, UNH_Segment.IndexOf(segmentTerminator));
    //inject UNH2_5 in the existing UNH_Segment
    messageBody = messageBody.Replace(UNH_Segment,
    UNH_Segment + componentDataElementSeparator + UNH2_5);
    Thanks All for all your help!!

  • BAM Activity and view issue on BizTalk server 2013 R2 machine.

    Hello all,
    I am trying to make BAM portal work since couple of days but no luck yet...
    I ma using BizTalk server 2013 R2.
    I am trying to deploy the activity and view from my Development server to Test server ( it's working fine on Developemnt).
    I have gone through one post and found this and followed steps here is the output for that :
    First confirm that you can see the name of the activity in the list of deployed activity by executing this command:
    bm.exe get-activities
    --> I can see the activity name in  there so I belive that activity is got created.
    While creating the BAM activity you must have created/deployed a view get the name of the view by using this command:
    bm.exe get-views -Activity:<activity name>
    --> I can see the view name in  there so I belive that view is exist.
    You need to provide permission to the account you are using to access the BAM portal on this view by using this command.
    bm.exe add-account -AccountName:”<AccountName>” -View:<viewname>
    --> while executing this command is got error as :
    Using 'BAMPrimaryImport' BAM Primary Import database on server 'TESTSERVER'...
    ERROR: Security management of the BAM view failed.
    The SQL role for the specified view is missing.
    Note : My BAMAlert service is running and running using
    GROUP\~biztalkservice account I am logged on Test Server using "NitinUser" account with administrator rights.
    What does this mean - if this mean that I needs to give rights to my user (NitinUser) on SQL Database please tell me how to do that ? with command....
    Thanks and Regards, Nitin.

    Hi Nitin,
    Can you try the solution as suggested by Thiago Almeida.
    http://connectedthoughts.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/bam-deployment-gotchas/
    His solution for this problem is to remove the view and re-add it, which worked for him. Obviously I didn't encounter this error, so have to suggest the solution from community.
    If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.
    Hello Ashwin,
    As per that post the author was having issue that view was not created ...
    also have noticed one thing that by executing following command in sql management studio.
    use
    BamPrimaryImport
    SELECT
    SUSER_SNAME(owner_sid),nameFROMsys.DATABASES
    on my development box it's showing my user GROUP\nitinUser and Name = CustomBizTalkDB
    but when I execute this on TEST server, entry for GROUP\nitinUser is not in database

  • Migrating Parties from Covast 2006 to BizTalk Server 2013

    Guys,
    I have around 300 EDI Covast parties setup in Biztalk Server 2006 and now we are upgrading these applications to BizTalk Server 2013. Is there anyway to get these parties migrated to BTS 2013 and create parties/agreements programatically.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    You may have to upgrade to BizTalk 2006 R2 and then use the Party Migration Tool [refer

  • Migrating From BizTalk 2009 To Biztalk server 2013

    Hi All,
            My current solution is on BizTalk 2009 and my client is thinking of migrating to BizTalk 2013 . Please suggest me is it a good idea to migrate to BizTalk 2013.
    Please provide me a difference between 2009 to 2013
    Difference between 2009 to 2013 and main features.
    Thanks and Regards
    Dhanavel S 

    Hi Dhanavel,
    Why don’t you think about migrating to BizTalk 2013 R2 which is available now. Anyway
    First and foremost thing, BizTalk Server 2009’s mainstream support from Microsoft has ended on 08-July-2014. After mainstream support, customer will get extended support until
    09-July-2019. So you're are in extended support phase now. Find out the following blogpost where you will know more about what you can get and what you’re going to miss from Microsoft support for BizTalk Server 2009. And also about what you have to do next.
    Why you have to migrate to the latest version.
    BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends.What to do next?
    Apart from losing the benefits of mainstream support against the extended support and apart from getting the benefits of latest offering/features of the newer version of the
    product, BizTalk server 2009 is closely dependent on its underlying platforms like Windows Server 2008 (or Window server 2003/Windows XP-SP3/Windows Visa SP1), SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2005 SP2) and Visual Studio 2008. So its high time to migrate.
    BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends. What to do next?
    Some of the benefits of migrating from BizTalk 2009 to BizTalk 2013.
    Platform upgrades:
    BizTalk 2013 uses following, so when you upgrade from BizTalk 2009 to 2013, you will get the benefits by upgrading your platforms.
    Windows Server 2012 (BizTalk 2009 uses Windows Server 2009)
    Visual Studio 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses Visual Studio2008)
    .NET Framework 4.5 (BizTalk 2009 uses .NET 3.5)
    SQL Server 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses SQL 2008)
    Virtualization support for Hyper-V (this feature is available from BizTalk 2010 onwards)
    Some of the other benefits include
    Better support to could
    Azure Service Bus. And support for
    BizTalk Server running on Azure IaaS
    BizTalk Server 2013 Support for RESTful Services
    More support towards WCF-based adpaters.
    Secure FTP with new FTPS Adapter and an improved FTP Adapter
    Out-of-box support to SFTP Adapter
    Enhancements to the IBM Hosts Systems adapters
    Update to BizTalk mapper

  • Reading PDF contents in BizTalk server 2013

    Can BizTalk Server 2013 read PDF file contents? Or any third party tool can be plugged in BizTalk to achieve this.
    Any help would be highly appreciated. 

    BizTalk as an “engine” can only read XML nothing else.
    If you want to do some processing in BizTalk based on the PDF content, then PDF needs to be converted into XML. As of now there no out-of-box support to handle PDF file contents. By using a custom component (custom pipeline component) you got to covert the
    PDF into XML file and produced XML files can be processed in BizTalk as usual. To get started for PDF pipeline component, read this codeplex pipeline component which in turn uses
    itextsharp libarary.
    http://pdf2xmlbiztalk.codeplex.com/
    Or you can create your own custom decode pipeline component which converts the PDF to XML. Most of the custom component use 3<sup>rd</sup> part library
    (there are many available).
    Or when mean - “Can BizTalk
    Server 2013 read PDF file contents” to route the PDF just using the pass-thru shall pass the BizTalk PDF as steam of byte through message box. You can also use
    Orchestration to route the PDF message by following the suggestion mentioned here.,.
