You receive a "The receive location '[drive:]\[path]\*.xml' is shutting down" error message when you use the file adapter in BizTalk Server 2004

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004 may not process a file that enters a receive pipeline if the following conditions are true:
  • You have created a receive location that uses the File transport type to monitor a local directory.
  • Multiple computers that are running BizTalk Server are members of the receive handler host instance for this receive location.
An error that is similar to the following may be logged in the BizTalk Server 2004 application log:
The receive location "[drive:]\[path]\*.xml" is shutting down. Details: "The Messaging Engine failed while notifying an adapter of its configuration."

CAUSE

This error may occur if the path that is defined in the Address (URI) for the receive location is not created on each server that participates in the receive handler host instance for the receive location.

RESOLUTION

Use one of the following methods to resolve this issue:
  • Create the full path that is defined in the Address (URI) on each server that participates in the receive handler host instance for the receive location.
  • Configure the Address (URI) for the receive location to point to a share that can be accessed by all servers that participate in the receive handler host instance for the receive location.
