Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
Some Message Queuing receive locations are configured in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009, BizTalk Server 2010, or BizTalk Server 2013.
-
The Message Queuing receive locations receive some messages from a remote transactional queue.
-
There are no messages in the queue for some time.
In this scenario, the memory that the BizTalk host process consumes increases unexpectedly.
