SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 and in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002, you may run out of memory resources when you have many dehydrated orchestration instances. This problem may occur when you have many long-running orchestrations that are dehydrated and then rehydrated. Every time that an orchestration instance is rehydrated, BizTalk Server consumes additional memory resources and additional handles. BizTalk Server continues to consume the additional resources until the orchestration instance is completed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because BizTalk Server does not reclaim all the resources that are consumed until the dehydrated orchestration instance is completed.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem and to prevent the orchestration instances from exhausting all the physical memory available, complete the orchestration instances as soon as possible to reclaim the resources that are consumed.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
