How to Update the Runtime Computers

The destination system BizTalk Server runtime computers are configured with the BizTalk Server Configuration Wizard as part of the production BizTalk group running in the production environment. When the production BizTalk group is restored in the disaster recovery environment, settings must be updated on each BizTalk Server runtime computer so that it points to the disaster recovery SQL Server instance(s) when it attempts to connect to the restored production BizTalk group. After the BizTalk group is restored in the destination system, use the following procedure to update the BizTalk Server runtime computers.

To update the BizTalk Server runtime computers

  1. Copy the edited SampleUpdateInfo.xml file to the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Schema\Restore directory on every 32 bit BizTalk server or to the \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Bins32\Schema\Restore directory on every 64 bit BizTalk server in the destination system.

  2. On each BizTalk server, open a command prompt. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

    Note

    On 64-bit computers, you must open a 64-bit command prompt.

  3. At the command-prompt, navigate to \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Schema\Restore (on 32 bit computers) or to \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server\Bins32\Schema\Restore (on 64 bit computers) and type this command:

    cscript UpdateRegistry.vbs SampleUpdateInfo.xml  
    
  4. Enable and restart all BizTalk Host instances and all other BizTalk Services on the BizTalk servers in the destination system.

  5. Restart WMI on each BizTalk server in the destination system. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK. In the Services MMC snap-in, right-click Windows Management Instrumentation and select Restart.

  6. On each BizTalk server, open the BizTalk Server Administration console, right-click BizTalk Group, and then select Remove.

  7. Right-click BizTalk Server 2010 Administration, select Connect to Existing Group, select the SQL Server database instance and database name that corresponds to the BizTalk Management database for the BizTalk group, and then click OK.

    Note

    After updating the BizTalk Server runtime computers, you may also need to update the SSO Server name as displayed in the Group Properties dialog box available in the BizTalk Server Administration console. To update the SSO Server name, launch the BizTalk Server Administration console, click to expand BizTalk Server Administration, right-click the BizTalk Group node and select Properties to display the General tab of the BizTalk Server Administration console. Then, in the SSO Server name textbox, enter the name of the Enterprise Single Sign-On server that this computer will use to access the configuration information for the adapters and click OK. This is the name of the SSO server used to connect to the SSO database.

  8. Restart the following Windows services on each BizTalk runtime server:

    • Enterprise SSO Service

    • Rule Engine Update Service

    • BizTalk Host Instances
