SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002, you may configure a BizTalk Messaging Services channel to use the BizTalk Server SendLocalFile transport component as the primary transport component. When you do this, paged pool memory usage continuously increases on the computer that is running BizTalk Server 2002. In this scenario, the server may eventually stop responding to client requests because of a lack of available memory. When this problem occurs, the following event is logged in the System log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Srv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2020
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description: The server was unable to allocate from the system paged pool because the pool was empty.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if you configure the BizTalk Server SendLocalFile transport component to use a specific user name and password. In a scenario where you configure the BizTalk Server SendLocalFile transport component to use a specific user name and password, BizTalk Server 2002 incorrectly keeps token handles to kernel token objects. This behavior causes the BizTalk Server Messaging service to leak two handles in user mode. The behavior also causes the BizTalk Server Messaging service to leak paged pool memory in the kernel for every message that is processed by the BizTalk Server SendLocalFile transport component.
