Bug #: 50001495 (SQL Hotfix)



Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.

SYMPTOMS
In a database mirroring session of Microsoft SQL Server 2005, a Service Broker endpoint stops passing messages from the initiating service to the target service. This problem occurs periodically and with increasing frequency.

When this problem occurs, a minidump file is generated. Additionally, the following error messages are repeatedly logged in the SQL Server 2005 error log:

The mirror route is not operational. 'TCP://plpossrv135:4027' is acting as 'Unknown' []. 'tcp://slpossrv135:4027' is acting as 'Unknown' [].

The mirror route is operational, but only connected to principal. 'TCP://plpossrv048:4027' is acting as 'Principal' []. 'tcp://slpossrv048:4027' is acting as 'Unknown' [].
