Message Box cleanup

Message Box cleanup

It is usually a very important task to clean up a BizTalk mseeage box during stress testing with large amount of messages. Below are the steps to clean up the message box in order to prepare for the new test.

1. Stop all BizTalk services

2. Type iisreset at command line to recycle IIS service

3. Execute the stored procedure bts_CleanupMsgbox on your message box database

4. Execute the stroed procedure bts_PurgeSubscriptions on your message box database

(if the above stored procedures can't be found, go to your BizTalk installation directory, under “Schema” folder, you can find all original scripts of these stored procedures)

5. Clean up the message box log by running the backup statement similar to below

backup log msgBoxDb to disk = 'yourbackupdirectory\yourbackupfile.bak' with init, stats = 5

6. Restart BizTalk services
