FIX: MQSeries adapter can't receive messages larger than fragment size and causes high CPU and network traffic in BizTalk Server

Symptoms

Assume that you are using the MQSeries adapter to receive and process messages in Microsoft BizTalk Server, and you have an MQSeries queue that contains messages that are larger than the fragment size that is configured on the Adapter.

Additionally, the BizTalk server may consume many large temporary files until the BizTalk process crashes.

This problem is fixed in the following cumulative updates for BizTalk Server:

Cumulative Update 5 for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2016

Cumulative Update 8 for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 R2

Status
