Hi Ken,

Thanks to report that issue and sorry to reply only now, I was quite on different things.

Can you please send me (jpierauc@microsoft.com) your status log file that MBV produce. I would be interested to undersctand this nullref exception, you have indeed a large config of many servers so it is possile that you met a limit somewhere in MBV

I have to admit that I never testd MBV tested in a such large config ! :-)

Hi Steve,

can I know which vesion of MBV you use ?

Normally MBV can collect even if a BAM import is not present

It was working fine in past versions

if it is not the case in the latest build then it is a regression bug and I need to fix that asap

I will do also a test on my side and come back to you what the result is

thanks for this remark

re: MsgBoxViewer (MBV) Q & A

Steve — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 19:25:43 GMT

We do not have BAM configured in our environment. MBV doesn't collect counters complaining that it can't connect to BAMPrimaryPort Database. Is there a setting to exclude BAM dbs?

Thanks!

Hi Roger,

send me if possible your status.log file

question; do you have UDDI db installed and when did you download MBV 11 ?

I fixed indeed a last minute bug last week which looked similar and I uploaded again on my blog the fixed version

re: MsgBoxViewer (MBV) Q & A

Roger — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:20:31 GMT

Hi,

When I start the MsgBoxViewer (Version 11), I get the error message. The MsgBoxViewer (Version 10.14) version is running without problem

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Hi Raul,

you can ignore this warning

It is unfortunately a bug in my tool occuring with BT 2004 SP2 environments and I already fixed it in next incoming build

re: MsgBoxViewer (MBV) Q & A

RAUL Caceres — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:43:04 GMT

Version found in BTS Registry (BizTalk 2004 SP2) seems different than version detected in Mgmt Db (Version Schema: 3.2.0.0=BizTalk 2004) !!look that version in the register hkey/software/microsoft/biztalk/3.0.

whats is the fix that solutions it warning
