Install Instructions

Note You must apply this hotfix to an installation of BizTalk Server Adapter for MQSeries that does not have any other hotfixes applied to it. If you have applied earlier hotfixes, you must first roll back to the original version of the application to remove the earlier hotfixes.

1. Stop the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries service.
2. In Component Services, remove the MQHelper COM component from the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries COM+ application.
3. Install the Btsmqs_q816772.exe fix. You receive a prompt to restart the server.
4. Add MQHelper COM+ components to the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries COM+ application by using the new binary file (C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries\Mqhelper.dll). Verify that the Transaction property is set to Required and the Concurrency property is set to Required.
5. Replace the original version Active Server Pages (ASP) pages that are located in the BizTalk folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\MessagingManager\Pipeline) with the ASP pages that are located in the .zip file (Aicmq_mqpipeline_1.asp and Aicmq_mqpipeline_1_post.asp).
6. Add the registry DWORD value UseDeadLetterQueue under the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Adapter For MQSeries\MQHelper

   Set the value of UseDeadLetterQueue to 1.
7. Create a local queue on the computer running MQSeries Server. Specify this queue as the dead letter queue for the queue manager. You can do this on the Extended tab of Properties for the queue manager.
