A tracking host instance moves tracking data for specific MessageBox databases, but there will never be more than one tracking host instance moving data for a specific MessageBox database. For example, if you have three MessageBox databases, and only two tracking host instances, then one of the host instances needs to move data for two of the MessageBox databases.

Adding a third tracking host instance distributes the tracking host work to another computer running BizTalk Server. In this scenario, adding a fourth tracking host instance would not distribute any more tracking host work, but would provide an extra tracking host instance for fault tolerance. While BizTalk Server allows you to configure a BizTalk host as a cluster resource, you should only consider doing this if you need to provide high availability to a resource that cannot be hosted across multiple BizTalk computers.

As an example, ports using the FTP adapter should only reside on one host instance, as the FTP protocol does not provide file locking. However, this introduces a single point of failure, which would benefit from clustering. Hosts that contain adapters, such as file, SQL, HTTP or processing only hosts, can be internally load balanced across computers, and do not benefit from clustering.

The setting effectively throttles outbound HTTP calls to each server to two concurrent sends from each computer running BizTalk Server. You can increase this for the specific servers being called. Do not increase the value for the maxconnection parameter to such a large value that the Web server being called is overwhelmed with HTTP connections.

After changing the value for the maxconnection parameter, perform stress testing by sending requests to each destination Web server to determine a value for maxconnection that will provide good performance and HTTP sends without overwhelming the target Web servers.

Other examples include:. NET Web application that hosts isolated received locations, back-end Web services and WCF services should be modified under the following conditions:. NET Apps v4. NET Apps v2. An error similar to the following is generated in the Application log of the computer that hosts the Web application.

When the autoConfig value in the machine. NET 2. Net 4 Web application, open the associated machine. For more information about tuning parameters in the machine. When ASP. For synchronous scenarios this will indirectly limit the number of threads but for asynchronous scenarios the number of requests and threads will likely be very different. When running ASP. Instead, the number of concurrently executing requests can be changed from the default value of 12 per CPU by modifying the value specified for maxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU.

Follow these steps to change the default value for maxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU to govern the number of concurrently executing requests:. Incorrect use of Registry Editor may cause problems requiring you to reinstall your operating system.

Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Click Start , click Run , type regedit. On the Edit menu, click New , and then click Key. NET Framework 3. You can download Microsoft. Open the aspnet. For more information about configuring ASP. NET Framework 4, the default setting for maxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU is , which is a very large number and therefore will allow plenty of asynchronous requests to execute concurrently.

For IIS 7. By default, the registry key does not exist and the number of requests per CPU is limited to NET Framework 4 must be installed to accommodate setting the values below via configuration file. NET Framework 4 from Microsoft. Because a Windows thread is the most basic executable unit available to a Windows process, it is important to allocate enough threads to the.

NET thread pool associated with an instance of a BizTalk host to prevent thread starvation. Right-click AdapterHarness. AdapterHarnessType , and then click Bind. AdapterHarnessType- Binding Configurations dialog box, do the following. If the status is not Enabled , right-click AdapterReceive in the right pane, and then click Enable. In the left pane, click Orchestrations and ensure that AdapterHarness.

AdapterHarnessType is Enlisted. Right click AdapterHarness. AdapterHarnessType is already enlisted, the Enlist menu option is unavailable. AdapterHarnessType and select Start. The status of this orchestration should change to Running. After you deploy the sample adapter, you must stop and restart the host instance. It is critical that you test the sample adapter before you place it into production. Right-click the host instance typically, the computer name , and then click Stop.

Notice that Eligibility displays differently from the other nodes. Eligibility is a service node that you can select. The other nodes are organization nodes that do not describe any specific service.

You can now use the schemas, PortTypes, Operations, and MessageTypes imported from the adapter in the schedule for the BizTalk project. After completing the sample adapter, you can modify the sample adapter to create a custom static or dynamic adapter For more information, see Adapter Design-Time Configuration.

Adapter Samples - Usage Registering an Adapter. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. After the receive adapter has successfully submitted a file, the receive adapter deletes the renamed file from the file system or network share. If a message has been read but failed processing in the pipeline, the receive adapter places the message in the MessageBox database suspended queue, and deletes the renamed file from the network share. If the File receive adapter successfully reads the message but did not successfully store the message in the MessageBox database, the renamed file reverts to its original name, without the.

Note that the receive adapter does not read files with the extension. The File receive adapter relies on Windows File Change Notifications to determine when to pick up a file from the specified directory or share. If the File receive adapter receives a Windows File Change Notification before the file has been completely written to the specified directory or share then the file will be locked and the File receive adapter will not retrieve the file. In this scenario, the File receive adapter will actively poll the specified directory or share at the Polling interval ms specified on the Advanced settings dialog box available when configuring a File receive location.

When the File receive adapter polls a directory or share it retrieves unlocked files from the share and submits the files to the MessageBox database. The following Windows File Change Notifications will cause the File receive adapter to pick up a file from the specified location:. Any attribute change in the watched directory or subtree causes a change notification wait operation to return. Any file name change in the watched directory or subtree causes a change notification wait operation to return.

Changes include renaming, creating, or deleting a file name. Any file-size change in the watched directory or subtree causes a change notification wait operation to return. The operating system detects a change in file size only when the file is written to the disk.

For operating systems that use extensive caching, detection occurs only when the cache is sufficiently flushed. Any change to the last write-time of files in the watched directory or subtree causes a change notification wait operation to return.

The operating system detects a change to the last write-time only when the file is written to the disk. The File receive adapter submits messages to the server in batches. The File receive adapter starts by building a single batch per receive location by collecting all the readable files available in the receive location.

Batches are submitted to the MessageBox database by the receive adapter when all the available files have been collected or when the amount of files collected exceeds the maximum batch size.
