BizTalk Server 2006 Orchestration Profiler

Closed Issue: NullReferenceException due to hard-coded DB server [2853]

ilyaf — Thu, 16 May 2013 05:07:11 GMT

The Profiler crashes with a NullReferenceException in Microsoft.Sdc.OrchestrationProfiler.Core.ReportGenerator.RetrieveDeployedOrcestrations() (note the spelling). The crash is due to the fact that the management database server name "(local)" is hard-coded in the method. To fix the crash, replace the hard-coded value with the value passed in a parameter to this method (which is the value entered in the UI or in the command line). A patch which does exactly that is attached.

Closed Issue: Date filter does not work on called orchestrations [2875]

darrenj — Thu, 16 May 2013 05:07:10 GMT

Even though the Orchestration Profiler asks the user for the date/time range to load tracking data for, this range is not taken into account for orchestrations invoked via a Call shape. As a result, all events in the Tracking database are loaded. This makes it impossible to profile called orchestrations for a specific performance test run, defeating the usefulness of the tool.

The reason for this is erroneous SQL stored in the resources of the Microsoft.Sdc.BizTalkOM assembly. The query that loads called orchestration shapes does not include the date range in the WHERE clause:

-- begin quote --

SELECT @uidSvcId = uidServiceId FROM dta_Services s
WHERE s.strServiceName = @svcName AND s.strAssemblyName = @svcAsm

INSERT INTO @data
SELECT distinct
t.uidServiceInstanceId
,t.vtInstructionId
,t.dtBeginTimeStamp
,t.dtEndTimeStamp

,Duration =
case
when (DATEDIFF(second, t.dtBeginTimeStamp, t.dtEndTimeStamp) > 214748)
then 2147483000
else DATEDIFF(millisecond, t.dtBeginTimeStamp, t.dtEndTimeStamp)
end

FROM
dta_DebugTrace t
WITH (READPAST)
INNER JOIN dta_CallChain cc ON
cc.uidServiceInstanceId = t.uidServiceInstanceId
WHERE uidCalleesServiceId = @uidSvcId

-- end quote --

Unfortunately, the source for the BizTalkOM assembly is not included with the Orchestration Profiler, so it is impossible to patch the bug at the client site either.

New Post: BizTalk 2010 error

bsyren — Thu, 31 May 2012 16:19:35 GMT

Hi, I receive the following error when I try to generate a report.

Unable to locate the help compiler executable.

I'm running BizTalk 2010 on Server 2008 R2.

My Configuration.exe.config file in folder "D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010" contains the following below. I have checked the paths for the files and they are correct; "C:\Program Files (x86)\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe" does exist!

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi,

I got a similar issue when trying to generate the BizTalk Orchestration Profiler report. The error message was "conversion failed when converting string to datetime ...".

Looking at the datetime fields in the Orchestration Profiler UI, I noticed that the dates were being displayed in French format.

Changing my regional settings to "US" helped me solved the problem.

I guess that the Orchestration Profiler does not take into account the machine's culture while formatting dates. Hope that this bug will be corrected in a future version.

Cheers.

I am not sure if there is a separate download of Orchestration Profiler for BizTalk 2009. Can someone confirm that or will the same download work with BizTalk 2009 also?

Hi,

I've got an error when I try to generate a report.

In english (because the message is in french), it is something like "A cast error from datatype CHAR to DATETIME" has given a value out of limits of date and time. The instruction has been stopped".

Could you help me please ?

Hi Rudolf,

Thanks for pointing out the problem areas. We came across the timeout issues and i fixed them in a similar way. Didnt have the arithmetic overflow, but will incorporate that too. I have a release planned now (possibly a week or 2 max) and should have all this available.

Cheers,

Is there an easy way to associate a shape id from the help file to the actual shape? Unfortunately the shape name is duplicated a lot, so not sure how to figure out which shape is which.

Thanks,

Nathan
