FIX: The number of connections to SQL Server may increase to over 500 when you try to import the same BizTalk application .msi file again in BizTalk Server 2006 R2


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2, you import a BizTalk application .msi file by using the BizTalk Administration console. Then, you try to import the same BizTalk application .msi file again. When you do this, the number of connections to Microsoft SQL Server may increase to over 500. The number of connections to SQL Server does not decrease even after the import operation has finished.

Additionally, the import operation may be unsuccessful, and you may receive the following error message:
Import fails with the following: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached. (Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM)
This problem occurs only when you import the same BizTalk application .msi file again. This problem does not occur when you first deploy the BizTalk application .msi file.

Note You can examine the number of connections to SQL Server by running the following query in SQL Server.
Select count(*) from sysprocesses
