Resend notification to BizTalk.

Hi,
We use query notification to receive notifications from SQL Server 2008 R2 to BizTalk 2010. Sometimes the notification fails and BTS doesn't receive any notification. In SQL Server Log we get this message "Cannot find the remote service-SqlQueryNotificationService-......"
because it does not exist. But after sometime without we doing anything the query notification starts working again fine when a new record insert into the table.
1. I would like to know what would cause this error to happen. how to fix this from happening again.
2. When query notification fails there is at least one record in the table which is not yet processed by BTS. Sometimes query notification resumes working after a new record is insert into the same table. Is there way to explicitly push the notification to
BTS from SQL Server.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Hi Vijay,
According to your description, you are experiencing the error "Cannot find the remote service-SqlQueryNotificationService-...... "every now and then, right?
For this error, it was not under your control as an administrator nor as a developer. It is caused by the way the SqlDependency component of ADO.Net deploys the temporary service, queue and procedure needed for its functioning. The problem could be caused
by your application calling SqlDependency.
And this issue was fixed in SQL Server 2008 SP1 which you can see on the link below.
http://rusanu.com/2009/04/18/a-fix-for-error-cannot-find-the-remote-service-sqlquerynotificationservice-guid/
however in your scenario, you are using SQL Server 2008 R2, it strange that the issue still exists, you can submit a feedback at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback to check if this issue exists on that version or not.

  • POP3 Adapter Issues Biztalk 2013

    Hey Guys, 
    I'm going through a very strange situation.
    First my environment:
    QA Windows 2008 R2 Standard
    Biztalk Server 2013 Enterprise 
    2GB of Memory
    Biztalk and SQL Server 2008 R2 installed in a same virtual server.
    Pre-Production Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
    Biztalk Server 2013 Enterprise
    4GB of Memory 
    SQL Server 2008 R2 installed in another virtual server with 4 GB memory.
    So, POP3 not working in Pre-Production environment. Its simple not search the emails on pop3 server.
    And what I feel unconfortable that in Event Viewer haven't any log about POP3 adapter.
    My URI for test, POP3://lkjaldskjlkasd#domain\user. You can see that POP3 server not exists, and still the adapter did not log on Event Viewer about that. 
    I'm sure the Host Instance has been properly started.
    Its seems there is no difference receive port is on or off.
    In QA environment the adapter is working very well.
    Any Ideas? Tks in advise.
    Espero ter ajudado

    Hi Ruth , 
    I had a similar issue , but with different adapter (SFTP ). everything was started , host, rcv location and not even the event viewer shoes error or warnings, I proceed to create the another rcv location with the same configuration and then start to work.
    I found out this pretty weird and I thought that was something to do in the bindings that were imported or with the SFTP adapter. but when I extract the binding I figure it out that another developer  added an schedule settings to run everyday at 11 pm
    for 20 min and she completely forgot to mention this when I remove this it started to work just fine. 
    maybe you had a similar issue . let me know if you figure out your issue.

  • Oracle Applications Manager -- Workflow Manager -- Notification Mailer

    Hi All,
    We are facing an issue in the R12 E- Business Suite Po Approval Workflow cycle. The PO is being approved and
    the buyer while approving the PO is mentioning the email address where the Po Approval Notification needs to be emailed.
    The Po gets approved and in thw wf_notifications table we could see two records entered with the Message Type as mentioned below :
    Message Type : PO_PO_HAS_BEEN_APPROVE , status : OPEN and mail_status : SENT , Recipient Role : DCASTAGNA
    -- This is fine because the user DCASTAGNA , is receiving the email at the email address which is linked to the
    fnd_user record in Oracle. This is an FYI notification which just says The PO has been approved
    Message Type : PO_EMAIL_PO , status : OPEN and mail_status : FAILED, Recipient Role : [email protected] -- Why this status is showing as Failed.. The user is not receiving this email notification.
    The issue is that the user whose email address has been keyed is not receiving the email notification.
    We have the Workflow Notification Mailer configured which would listen to the Send Notification Message posted by the Workflow Engine.
    Could someone please help with this issue after we have upgraded to R12. The user is receiving 1 email notifiaction but not receiving the email for the 2nd Message present in the wf_notifications table.
    We are stuck because of this issue.
    Thanks
    sachin.

    Hi sachin;
    Any errors in the workflow mailer log file?
    Any errors in the database log file?

  • Nagios Configuration

    Hello,
    I'm having some difficulty getting Nagios configured.  The following configuration gives this error:
    Error: Invalid notification_interval value for host '12monkeys.wyattnetworks.com'
    Error: Could not register host (config file '/usr/local/etc/nagios/localhost.cfg', starting on line 272)
    I also believe there are probably other mistakes with my configuration...
    Any ideas?

  • Biztalk Query notification clarification

    Hi,
    I am getting weird behavior of Biztalk Query notification while updating the row.
    i have a notification statement say for example,  like "select Custno from Customer where CUstNo = 2
    when i insert row with cutno = 2 , biztalk gets notification . correct behavior
    when i insert row with cutno = 1 , biztalk does not get notification . correct behavior
    when i update row like update customer set custno = 2 where custono = 1  , biztalk gets notification . correct behavior
    when i update row like update customer set custno = 3 where custono = 2  , biztalk also gets notification . i am not understand this ? why biztalk gets notified.
    basically if we put where condition as custno = 2, 
    biztalk gets notification for oth scenarios,   changing custno to "2" or Changing custno from "2"
    can anyone clarify me how query notification works for Update statement?
    Best Regards,
    Vinoth

    All of the scenarios you list appear to be the correct behavior since a row which satisfies your condition
    may have been affected, in either the before or after set.
    SQL Notifications lean toward over notification so you will get a notification when a row is touched though not necessarily modified.
    Details here:

  • Enable SQL Notification Services for BAM alerts , Biztalk 2010

    Hi,
    Enable SQL Notification Services for BAM alerts is greyed out.
    I need to enable bam alerts in BizTalk 2010.
    Regards,
    Sharmishtha

    Hi,
    If I understand correct, your problem is that the BAM Alerts configuration is greyed out in the BizTalk Configuration tool. If this is the problem it's due probably because you don't have the SQL Server 2005 Notification Services installed. Notification
    Services is required for BAM Alerts feature.
    You can take a look at the following link, even it's for multi-computer installation:

  • How can resend email notification

    Hi experts,
    Yesterday night, we have an issue with the server so that email did not go out last night. Today we fixed it. It's working now. However, I found out there are so many emails still in WF_NOTIFICATION table with MAIL_STATUS = 'MAIL', and STATUS = 'OPEN', and they also exist in WF_ERROR. How do I resend them?
    Apps version: 11.5.10.2
    DB: 9.2.0.8
    Os: Solaris 8
    Thanks in advance.
    Hieu
    Edited by: user122479 on Feb 20, 2013 4:37 PM

    Hi,
    First confirm that the notification mailer is sending mails by sending a test mail using "Test Mailer".
    Please see "How to send a test email notification?" in
    Workflow Java Mailer & Notifications FAQ [ID 562551.1]
    If it is working, then please bounce the concurrent managers and notification mailer to clear the black list users.
    Even then if it is not working then, you will have to look for log files in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/FNDCPGSC* and check the error.
    You might also see step 12 in
    A Guide For Troubleshooting Workflow Notification Emails - Inbound and Outbound [ID 831982.1].
    If the error cannot be seen, then enable the logging. Please see "How to increase the log level for the Workflow Components?" in
    Workflow Java Mailer & Notifications FAQ [ID 562551.1]
    Thanks

  • Mavericks mail keeps resending old Gmail notifications

    I've installed the new update as of this morning, but I'm getting mail notifications for mail messages that are several years old in my Gmail. It looks like it is running through all 20,000 messages that I have already viewed How do I get it to stop?  It seems to keep doing the same thing several times a day.

    I found my answer to this same question here and it worked for me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23729408#23729408
    Paul7 says: Navigate your browser to Gmail and disable the "Important" mailbox/lavel by going to Settings -> Labels -> uncheck "Show in IMAP" for the  "Important" System Label.

  • Not receiving e-mail and facebook notifications

    Can someone help me???  I am not receiving any e-mail or facebook notifications on my blackberry curve 8530.  I took the battery out and also ran  a Diagnostics Test that said I was connected.  When I tried to run e-mail setting it said "having trouble connecting to server".  What can I do???
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    There is an ongoing major outage...formal information is available here:
    http://www.rim.com/newsroom/service-update.shtml
    From my experience, this is affecting BIS, BES, and all services that depend on those (BBM, email, AppWorld, web browsing, application access to internet data, etc.). Troubleshooting specific problems during this outage may be pointless.
    Once the outage clears, if things are not yet flowing for you, please try these steps:
    1) Register HRT
    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Host Routing Table > (it does not matter which line is current) > Register Now
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you!
    Cheers!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

     Transact-SQL Technical Guru - May 2014  
    Naomi N
    T-SQL: Random Equal Distribution
    Jinchun Chen: "Nice."
    JS: "The crucial thing about such a procedure is to check the data before the randomization and afterwards. You might encounter situations where "John Smith" and "John Meyers" might have exchanged their First names
    which is technically correct, but logically and obviously wrong. So make sure that there is one additional check afterwards that makes sure that eventual privicy concerns will not survive the random process. Normally this would not happen, but I have already
    checked this is one of my older blog entries, where we exactly had that problem obfuscating data to make that operational and live data will not be recognized afterwards. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jenss/archive/2009/04/08/when-is-random-random-enough.aspx In
    addition to this some attributes are sticky to each other like gender and First Name. You also have to make sure that your distribution might change statistically in relation to other attributes."
    Richard Mueller: "Very instructive. Perhaps the See Also section should have more links."
    Ed Price: "Great formatting and topic! Could benefit from more descriptions. Great article!"
    GO: "Naomi, your article is nice. Simple to understand the 'problem' and execute the 'solution""

    GO: "Great article, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you"
    Manoj Pandey: "I like the idea, but it took me some more time to understand the overall logic as I'm new to Geo datatypes, Thanks."
    JS: "For me not using this sort of things regularly, I don't see the problem and the benefit. I have no doubt that this is a brilliant explanations how to cope with a problem, but for me this is missing yet the red line. More pictures
    would be helpful describing the problem and outlining the results produced."
    Richard Mueller: "Needs more explanation, and perhaps an example. There should be links to relevant references."
    Ed Price: "Good job on the opening descriptions! Could benefit from breaking up and explaining the code more. Images and references would be helpful. Good article!"
    Hasham Niaz
    DataCleanUp() Function Implementation in MS SQL Server
    Jinchun Chen: "Good."
    JS: "-Does actually not work for Case senstive areas where I want to remoce certain Upper/lower case characters. This might be not interesting for some people, but is extremely important and relevant to other people. The limitation is
    that I can´t pass multiple values to be removed from the string, right ? Could this be implemented as well as many people wash out their data from unused / unimportant control characters. "I have tested it on a table which has got more than 11 Million
    rows and it executed fine returning the correct results. Since this is a scalar function you will notice decrease in performance." Once you want to maintain the old data and keep the new cleaned up one seperately, you could suggest something like persisting
    the data in a computed column which could be indexed and then help improving the performance. This would not be the case for any adhoc queries though."
    Richard Mueller: "Very clever and also very useful. There should be links to references, for example to explain the PATINDEX function."
    Ed Price: "Great job on this article! Very clear and well executed! See JS's comments for some thoughts about what's possible. Great article!"
    Manoj Pandey: "A good utility Function that I can use and tweak for my future needs, Thanks."

  • OIM Email Notification issue with custom E-mail user attribute

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement where we need to send e-mail notification programmatically after a OIM account is created for the user through trusted reconciliation. Post process event handler is being used for this. We have created our own Custom Notification Event, created new Notification Template of the type Custom Notification Event.
    For storing e-mail address for every OIM user we are using custom attribute "Email Home". Now the problem is NotificationService is by default picking e-mail address from OTB attribute "Email". Is there a simple way to pick the E-mail address from custom attribute? Below is sample code that we are working on. Any ideas on this would be very helpful.
    NotificationService notService = Platform.getService(NotificationService.class);
    NotificationEvent event = new NotificationEvent();
    String[] receiverUserIds= {"<<*Comma separated list of OIM USER IDs to whom notification is to be sent*>>" }; sets the email address in the OTB "Email" attribute as receivers
    LOGGER.info("Receiver User ID set");
    event.setUserIds(receiverUserIds);
    event.setTemplateName(poTemplateName);
    event.setSender("<<*OIM User ID of sender*>>"); /// sets the email address in the OTB "Email" attribute as sender
    HashMap<String, Object> templateParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    templateParams.put("usr_login",poUserId);
    LOGGER.info("template Param set" templateParams);+
    event.setParams(templateParams);
    notService.notify(event);
    Thanks

    Hi,
    any updates on this issue?
    is there any possibility to resend the old notifications manually?
    Thanks,
    Prasad
