Hi,

How do MBV capture Hotfix info installed on system, does it uses WMIC for this and how does it identify which KBs are missing (does it compare against any standard list? or something like that). I am getting message (in MBV report) for a KB missing but as per Microsoft documentation it should be part of SP1 install which we have on my system.

I am using MBV 12

Let me know how to get the count of Active,Dehyradrated and Suspended messages count in Biztalk using MBV.

I have tried by selecting checkboxes in MBV for active and suspended messages, but still not getting count?

Hi JP,

Our application now has the issue with MsgBox growing at an exponential rate and eating up the drive space. This is due to the constant failure of the sql job MessageBox_Message_ManageRefCountLog_BizTalkMsgBoxDb.

We tried running MBV tool downloaded above (MsgBoxViewer12.zip) and it gives error messages asking to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed for the tool to run.

Our BizTalk Server uses MS BizTalk Server 2004 with SP2 on Windows Server 2003 on .NET 1.1 Framework. Can we get the tool to run in our BizTalk Servers to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

Siva B

Hi JPAUC,

1 issues related to the latest version of MBV and BTSTerminator.

We have a situation that some BizTalk servers were directly removed from environment (not BizTalk group) without correctly following the instructions. in this way, all new version of MBV and BTSTerminator are not able to go ahead.

This is not an issue in old version.

thanks.

Mandatory tool to keep your BizTalk environment healthy. I included this tool in a recipe (Chapter 7 of Monitoring and Maintenance of BizTalk Server) in my BizTalk Server 2010 Cookbook (www.packtpub.com/.../book).

Hi Lex,

sorry to reply only now, I was quite busy in my job and did not look at MBV blog recently.

The rule checkintg for MarkLog table is located in the Query "MsgBox Tables Size sorted by Custom order" in the query category titled "Important".

In MBV gui just select this query in the list and then select the tab "Query Rules" in the right pane of MBV and you will see this rule; to see its details just press the "Show rules Details".

let me know if you have any issue to locate it

and thanks to use MBV; I really hope that it help you to keep a healthy BizTalk System ! ;-)

Hi Jean-Pierre,

I wanted to write an article about how to get rid of records in the MarkLog table(s) and wanted to use MessageBoxViewer to show a warning in case you have too many records.

I am using v1.10 but I can't find the query which checks the MarkLog table(s). Is the query still there? I have 150.000+ records in the MarkLog table of my BizTalkMgmtDb.

Hope to hear from you!

Best regards,

Lex
