Symptoms
Consider the following scenario in a Microsoft BizTalk Server environment:
-
You create a send port that uses the AS2EDISend Pipeline component or the AS2Send Pipeline component to send Applicability Statement 2 (AS2) messages.
-
You select the Track Message Bodies - Request message after port processing check box to save and track message content after the message is sent on the send port.
In this scenario, the AS2 send instances remain active even after the messages are processed.
