Can't terminate a dehydrated instance

[m***@googlemail.com]

Hi,

my BizTalk seems to have a dehydrated instance (serviceStatus = 8),
but I'm not able to terminate it ("operation is not supported").
Another curios fact about this instance is that the Administration
Console doesn't list the instance but a WQL request exposes it.

Any recommendations how to terminate this instance? A full stop of all
BT applications doesn't work.

Hi Markus,

if you're able to stop your BizTalk and you do not have problems of,
eventually, deleting other message/orchestration instances then you can use
following approach:
0. install script msgbox_cleanup_logic.sql found in BizTalk installation
Schemas directory
1. stop Enterprise SSO (which will stop all BizTalk Host Instances on that
computer)
2. stop IIS
3. do this for all of your BizTalk group servers
4. on SQL Box MessageBox database run:
bts_CleanupMsgbox
bts_PurgeSubscriptions
5. Start IIS, and BizTalk hosts
