File receive locations are disabled or shut down on a computer that is running BizTalk Server

On This Page

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. On a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server, File receive locations are used with Universal Naming Convention (UNC) shares. You have many File receive locations. For example, you have 100 File receive locations.

In this scenario, you may notice that the File receive locations are disabled or shut down. One of the following error messages may also be logged in the Application log:

BizTalk Server 2004

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BizTalk Server 2004
Event Category: BizTalk Server 2004
Event ID: 5649
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
The receive location "\\ServerName\FileDrop\FileName.FileNameExtension" is shutting down. Details:"The FILE receive location \\ServerName\FileDrop\FileName.FileNameExtension exhausted the network retry attempts. ".

BizTalk Server 2006

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BizTalk Server 2006
Event Category: (1)
Event ID: 5649
Date: Date
Time: Time
User: N/A
Computer: ComputerName
Description:
The receive location "FileReceive" with URL "\\ServerName\FileDrop\FileName.FileNameExtension" is shutting down. Details:"The FILE receive location \\ServerName\FileDrop\FileName.FileNameExtension exhausted the network retry attempts. ".

CAUSE

This problem occurs because BizTalk Server uses persistent connections to the UNC share so that BizTalk Server can enlist in file change notifications. This problem can occur if multiple persistent connections exist.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, increase the MaxCmds and MaxMpxCt registry values on the BizTalk Server computer and on the remote UNC Share computer. To do this, follow the steps that are described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 810886.

810886  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=810886/ ) "The network BIOS command limit has been reached" error message in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows 2000 Server
Note You can also increase the retry count for the File adapter. The default value for the retry count is 5. The maximum value for the retry count can be 2147483647.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.

John Capra Report As Irrelevant

Hi everyone, Just though I would let you know that I was running into the same issue at our oganizations. We are using BTS2004 with Windows Server 2003 (On both the BTS and the file server) with about 150 file received location pointing to the same server. I made the changes as described but it didn't help one bit. In fact we didn't even have those registry entries on our servers. What I did do was (since the server we were having a problem with had FTP server already loaded) I moved about %50 of our file transports over to FTP transports and our Shutdowns have completedly stopped over the last week. I know it's not the best solution but it is one that definitely works!! Good luck! John
