Installation Instructions

Note You must apply this fix on an original released version installation of the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries. If you installed previous hotfixes, you must roll back to the original released version when you remove the hotfixes. To install this hotfix, follow these steps:

1. Stop the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries service.
2. In Component Services, remove the MQHelper Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) component from the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries Microsoft COM+ application.
3. Install the Btsmqs_q830771.exe fix. You may be prompted to restart the server.
4. Add MQHelper COM+ components to the BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries COM+ application by using the new binary (C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries\Mqhelper.dll).
5. Make sure that the Transaction property is set to Required and that the Concurrency property is set to Required.
6. Replace the original released version of the Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) pages that are installed in the BizTalk folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\MessagingManager\Pipeline) with the ASP pages that are in the .zip file (the Aicmq_mqpipeline_1.asp and Aicmq_mqpipeline_1_post.asp files).

Configuration Instructions:

After you install the hotfix, follow these steps to configure the server:

1. Create a COM+ library application in the Component Services MMC that is named BizTalk Adapter for MQSeries AIC.
2. Add Aicmq.dll as a component to the COM+ library application.
3. Set the Transaction property of the Aicmq.dll component to Transaction Supported.
4. Restart the BizTalk Messaging Service.

With this fix, the post-processor can participate in the interchange transaction. If the interchange fails, all the transactional work that is performed by the post-processor will automatically be rolled back.
