SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, some messages may not be processed as expected because of the size of the message. For example, a 100 kilobyte (KB) message may not be processed as expected when you use the File adapter. Alternatively, the POP3 adapter may not process large e-mail messages as expected.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because of a deadlock condition.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

The deadlock condition that is mentioned in the "Cause" section occurs if the message contains a large message part and if the value for the message size property is removed from memory during message processing. If the message size is not in memory, BizTalk Server calculates the message size from information that is stored in the BizTalk databases. If an active transaction is using the message at the same time as BizTalk Server is calculating the message size, the deadlock condition occurs.
