This hotfix introduces a new registry entry that controls whether null characters (00) are permitted in messages. Therefore, after you apply this hotfix, you must add the following DWORD registry entry to enable the hotfix:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTSSvc{Guid}\AllowNullCharsInMsg
If the
AllowNullCharsInMsg DWORD value is set to 0 (zero), BizTalk Server 2002 will not process documents when the first two bytes are
00 00. If the
AllowNullCharsInMsg value is set to any other value than 0 (zero), BizTalk Server 2002 will process documents when the first two bytes are
00 00.
To add the new registry entry, follow these steps.
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
