When you use Microsoft BizTalk Server, you may find the rules engine tables are not being
purged. Therefore, the rule engine database will continuously grow, even if you
have configured the DTA Purge and Archive Job correctly.
Note By default, the rule engine database is named
BizTalkRuleEngineDb. This problem could lead to slow performance in Health and
Activity Tracking (HAT) queries.
This problem occurs because of an error in the soft purge
logic that is included in the Bts_tracking_logic.sql file. Because of this
problem, none of the rules engine tables in the DTA database are
purged.
