  • Could not retrieve transport type data… Synopsis: Domain account password change

    Environment:

    Operation System: Windows XP SP2

    BizTalk Server: Single server installation of 2006 R2 – Evaluation Copy

    Recently with ‘forced’ password change some of my BizTalk sample apps bounced with following error



    Upon digging a little, I realized that primarily the SSO service [ENTSSO.exe] wasn’t started on its own (as set to Automatic) which blocked BizTalk Service BizTalk Group : BizTalkServerApplication [BTSNTSvc.exe] as Enterprise Single Sign-On Service sits as a parent service for the same. You may see following error pop-up.



    In essence, following windows services are all tied to your password change (should you have used your domain account during initial BizTalk configuration)

    ·         Enterprise Single Sign-On Service

    ·         BizTalk Base EDI service

    ·         NS$BAMAlerts

    ·         Rule Engine Update Service



    How to update the above services to new password?

    1. List all Services on your machine.
    2. Double-click individual services listed above and click on <Log on> tab
    3. Apply your new password.

    Addendum

    There is also a link on the Web space http://www.topxml.com/rbnews/BizTalk-Rule-Engine/re-19771_Updating-BizTalk-Server-Services-and-Accounts-After-a-Password-Change.aspx  that talks about the same.  This one mentions single server installation on W2003 SP1.

  • The adapter failed to transmit message going to send port ...

    While trying out an example in Biztalk 2006 R2, I got into following error

    The adapter failed to transmit message going to send port "BTDemoFlatFileSendPort" with URL "kamlesh.panchal@conchango.com". It will be retransmitted after the retry interval specified for this Send Port. Details:"The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for x.y@mangosoftware.com".


    and having spent couple of hours debugging through errors and warnings in Health & Activity Tracking as well as following

    1. Configuring virtual SMTP server using IIS,
    2. Configuring relay restrictions

    I thought of posting this up here for us BBs (Biztalk Beginners)

                   

    How to enable SMTP services on IIS server?

    How to configure Default Virtual SMTP Server on IIS?

    Right click on <mySMTP> -> Properties


    Pull the IP address of your local machine under <IP address>


    Click on <Advanced> button to ensure port 25 is assigned to this IP.


    Click on tab <Access>


    Click button <Relay…>


    Add your IP in the list.

    Note: Until you have granted access to your local machine/IP running an application on the same machine and trying to route a mail would throw error as mentioned earlier. (SMTP error 550)


    How to configure your SMTP adapter? (in Biztalk)

    Open up <BizTalk Server 2006 Administrator Console>

    Under your <BizTalk Group>, Click Platform Settings -> Adapters -> SMTP


    Select appropriate host application under <Host name>

    Click <Properties> button

    Plug your mail address against <From (e-mail address)>

    Leave <Authentication type> as [Process account(NTLM)]


    Remember to restart host application listed under <Host Instances>


    Your <Send Port> configured (similar to below> should roll…


    Where to find the warning and error logs when running Biztalk samples?

    Ø       Health and Activity Tracking and running queries on it.

    Ø       System Event Viewer / Log

  • Building a MOSS Development Environment - Step by Step

    I've been looking at several sites on the Net to help me figure out the best way configuring my laptop to pick up a sample MOSS project. VMCs available all over the places are quite huge to download over the cable! Some of the VMCs that I could get my hand on were more than I really need to kick-off a sample MOSS project (some were loaded with .Net 3.5, Orcas and all of that stuff!)

    The following URL is the one which I find quite methodically written and guess what! It loops back to one of our own (Jonathan Bradshaw) Conchango bloggers from the Big Apple.
