Symptoms

Assume that you use a one-way send port that uses the Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)-based SQL Adapter in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 or in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 to process messages. After some time, you receive the following error message:

The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

Cause

This issue occurs because the related SQL connection in the SQL adapter is not released when the message processing generates the results.

Notes:

  • Connections are only released back into the connection pool when the BizTalk host instance is recycled. When the connection buildup exceeds the specified MaxConnectionPoolSize value of the connection pool, you will receive the above error message.

  • This issue occurs when you use one-way send ports.
