Can anyone explain how I can remove service instances ?
- I've got a few which the BizTalk console shows as "Running"
- they are all in the Isolated Adapter
- tried doing a Stop with Full Stop option ...
- tried the Terminate Instance option ...
- even tried deleting the BizTalk application
But they're still there ??
my bad, the application delete did remove them, must have forgot to refresh
Event log has the errors ...
A request-response for the "HTTP" adapter at receive location "/foanite/BTSHTTPReceive.dll" has timed out before a response could be delivered.
but I still don't understand why the terminate wouldn't work
If you are running an Receive Location in an isolated host you normally need to perform a iisreset to be able to delete them.
If the IISReset does't help (it often doesn't) then use the BizTalk Health Monitor.
Select "Maintenance" from left-and tree view
For Task Type, select "Delete" and "Terminate Single Instance (Hard Termination)"
Paste the instance id taken from the BizTalk admin console
Click "Execute Task"

I have a Python service which connects to Asterisk via AMI and listens for events to detect when a call has begun.
This seems to work on most of the Asterisk servers I connect to. However, on a few of our servers we just don't see any of the AMI events (e.g. Newstate) when the call happens, though we do later see the Cdr event once the call has completed.
I've confirmed that this isn't specific to the library we're using to connect to AMI (py-Asterisk), because I see exactly the same thing when I connect manually, e.g.
$ openssl s_client -connect my-asterisk-server:5039
...
Asterisk Call Manager/2.10.3
Action: Login
Username: manager
Secret: ThisIsWhereITypedTheActualPassword
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted
Event: FullyBooted
Privilege: system,all
Status: Fully Booted
Action: Events
EventMask: on
Response: Success
Events: on
In the above block, I manually connected to AMI, logged in as the same administrator my Python code is using, and ensured that all events are turned on (though my asterisk config should already be displaying all events I care about by default).
After this point what I see on some of my Asterisk servers is a series of expected events like Newstate, followed by an eventual Cdr event. On other servers, I see only the Cdr event, with nothing proceeding it. This is completely consistened within each server, meaning a server either always sends all of the expected events or it never does.
I've checked the versions of asterisk, the manager.conf config file, the extensions.conf dialplan, the asterisk console in verbose mode (i.e. connecting via asterisk -vvvr to the running process), and just generally comparing my config files to my actually-working Asterisk servers.
I'm stumped as to what could be causing this, or even what to try next. If it matters, here's what my manager.conf looks like:
[general]
tlsenable=yes
tlsbindaddr=10.0.0.123:5039
tlscertfile=/etc/pki/asterisk/ami.crt
tlsprivatekey=/etc/pki/asterisk/ami.key
[admin]
secret=TheActualPasswordIsOnThisLine
read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,originate,cdr
write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,originate,cdr
EDIT: After some further digging, it seems that the only events which are showing up are Cdr events, so even things like peer registration events don't show up. I've also confirmed that all of my Asterisk 13.19.0-1 servers are exhibiting this behavior, and the only working servers are running much older versions of Asterisk.
The weird thing is that calls do come through successfully, so the problem is not that I'm missing some necessary module. (Or maybe I am? Is there some "make events show up in AMI" module that I need to ensure is loaded?)
FURTHER EDIT: I was able to turn on CEL events (Channel Event Logging), and those events show up, but this is a different set of events than the standard Newchannel/Newstate/etc I'm looking for. In theory I could rewrite a large portion of my service to use the CEL events, but ideally I'd just turn on the standard Newstate/Newchannel/Hangup events.
It turns out the issue is that I was missing
enabled=yes
in my manager.conf. Hopefully this will be helpful to someone in the future: even if you're able to connect to AMI, log into AMI, receive some events from AMI, and send commands to AMI and get responses back, it might not be enabled, and this will suppress most of the core events like Newchannel, Newstate, etc.
One clue was that running manager show settings in the asterisk console returned this:
Global Settings:
----------------
Manager (AMI) No
...
which is apparently how it indicates that it's not enabled.
I was trying out one functionality of BizTalk from the below link
https://masteringbiztalkserver.wordpress.com/category/pipelines/
Till now I never had to go to event log to check for any entries.
Now when I am trying to get a custom message logged in event Log, from BizTalk application, I dont see any relevent entry from BizTalk other than 2 entries when I restart the BizTalk Host instance.
From my research I had written down the below code in Expression shape in the application Orchestration:
xmlMessage = InputMessage;
stringMessage = xmlMessage.OuterXml;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("BizTalk Server", stringMessage);
Here the InputMessage is a message defined in orchestration for sample Schema that I have created.
My application got build and deployed properly and it is also processing the messages properly. Its just that I don't see any log in event viewer for my code or for the suspended messages when I intentionally stop the send port.
The discussionfrom below link also didnt help
No eventlogs from BizTalk
I have BizTalk Server configured on my Windows 7 Ultimate machine. I am the administrator of the machine.
A few points on this:
BizTalk sever will not log an event for a suspended message, that's why you dont' see one.
You should never use the BizTalk Server Event Source since the BizTalk product owns that
You can very easily create you own custom Event Source using PowerShell.
To create a custom Event Source, use something like:
new-eventlog -logname "Application" -Source "MyApplicationThatLogs"
To write with this Event Source, use something like:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyApplicationThatLogs", "Some Error Occured!", System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error, 100, 0);
Rather than using System.Diagnostics.EventLog for debugging purposes I would recommend that you use the BizTalk CAT Instrumentation Framework.
For a pipeline
TraceManager.PipelineComponent.TraceInfo(stringMessage);
For a Orchestration
Microsoft.BizTalk.CAT.BestPractices.Framework.Instrumentation.TraceManager.WorkflowComponent.TraceInfo(stringMessage);
It allows for real-time tracing when needed, "you can enable tracing on a production server with only a negligible impact on performance (when tracing to a file)."
I have a Loadrunner Test Scenario, here is the snapshot for it:
after opening my Test Scenario with Loadrunner Controller, I click then the "Start Scenario" button, the Scenario must run for 2 Hours, but it stops after 1 minute, and get the following Error:
Failed to stop Service Virtualization.
Failed to start Service Virtualization.
here you can see the error snapshot:
to increase the size of the snapshot please: Ctrl++
It seems that you have unwittingly activated an integration with HP Service Virtualization (or SV for short), without having SV installed on the same machine. In order to remove it, open the SV configuration dialog and uncheck all the entries.
I solved the problem with a lot of effort.
the problem is, when you have test scenario, which worked before, and you try to remove some script (groups) of the scenario,after that the test scenario will not work, what I've done, is I created from scratch a new scenario with the same test scripts, and voila it worked, I hope everyone will pay attention at that in the future
After moving most of our BT-Applications from BizTalk 2009 to BizTalk 2010 environment, we began the work to remove old applications and unused host. In this process we ended up with a zombie host instance.
This has resulted in that the bts_CleanupDeadProcesses startet to fail with error “Executed as user: RH\sqladmin. Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.int_ProcessCleanup_ProcessLabusHost'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 2812). The step failed.”
After looking at the CleanupDeatProcess process, I found the zombie host instance found in the BTMsgBox.ProcessHeartBeats table, with dtNextHeartbeatTime set to the time when the host was removed.
(I'm assuming that the Host Instance Processes don't exist in your services any longer, and that the SQL Agent job fails)
From looking at the source of the [dbo].[bts_CleanupDeadProcesses] job, it loops through the dbo.ProcessHeartbeats table with a cursor (btsProcessCurse, lol) looking for 'dead' hearbeats.
Each process instance has its own cleanup sproc int_ProcessCleanup_[HostName] and a sproc for the heartbeat watchdog to call, viz bts_ProcessHeartbeat_[HostName] (although FWR the SPROC calls it #ApplicationName), filtered by WHERE (s.dtNextHeartbeatTime < #dtCurrentTime).
It is thus tempting to just delete the record for your deleted / zombie host (or, if you aren't that brave, to simply update the Next dtNextHeartbeatTime on the heartbeat record for your dead host instance to sometime next century). Either way, the SQL agent job should skip the dead instances.
An alternative could be to try and re-create the Host and Instances with the same name through the Admin Console, just to delete them (properly) again. This might however cause additional problems as BizTalk won't be able to create the 2 SPROCs above because of the undeleted objects.
However, I wouldn't obviously do this on your prod environment until you've confirmed this works with a trial run first.
It looks like someone else got stuck with a similar situation here
And there is also a good dive into the details of how the heartbeat mechanism works by XiaoDong Zhu here
Have you tried BTSTerminator? That works for one-off cleanups.

I've got a new production computer and installed my BizTalk app on there. The problem is that I don't see any messages in the event log, nor from my BizTalk app or BizTalk Server itself. The only message that appears in the event log is the following:
The following BizTalk host instance has initialized successfully.
BizTalk host name: BizTalkServerApplication
Windows service name: BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication
The source of that message is BizTalk Server. And no messages at all, even no logs about errors which I suppose already took place.
Just a quick thought incase you are still having problems.
I tried to write to the event log with a source type that didnt already exist and my BizTalk Host user account didn’t have permissions to create a new source type. This meant I never saw the entry in the event log.
E.g. (from example #Bill Osuch)
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyBiztalkApp", "oh i did something");
Make sure either the MyBiztalkApp source exists or that your user has permissions on the event log to create it.
Also, if you have a lot of messages going through BizTalk you will probably want to implement your own logging so your event log doesn’t fill up. We used Log4Net for our implementation and a database to store messages.
If you're not getting any errors (suspended messages) as the messages process, you're not going to see anything in the app log. You could try adding an Expression shape to your orchestration and manually writing out some debug info:
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("event type", "whatever...");
Does your application actually use the BiztalkServerApplication host? Check in the Biztalk Administration Console if all the host instances are indeed running. Is your application fully started? Messages are "put on hold" if your receive location is disabled for example.
To check this functionality, write to event log after every operation or shape in BizTalk orchestration.
Scenario-
Suppose you have to assigned a value to xpath of node in a map after transformation so in message assignment shape after you assign some value, you can write eventlog to admin console.
Ex. Suppose we have already initialized - "orderType" as "PO" in our expression shape and now we have to assign the value of "orderType" to the xpath of a node in our map then-
Shape- MessageAssignment(Under constructMessage Shape after transformation of map)
xpath(msgGetOrderReq, "/[local-name()='CustomerOrders' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']/[local-name()='ordertype' and namespace-uri()='http://example.com/EAI/IEmployee/v1.0']") = ordertype;
Next to this we want to print this information on the admin console so we need to write:-
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("msgGetOrderReq", ordertype, msgGetOrderReq);
Build the project, Deploy and GAC it. Restart the host instance. Run the orchestration, process something and now you will be able to see the logs in admin console.
