Can't terminate BizTalk instances in isolated adapter

Question

Can anyone explain how I can remove service instances ?
- I've got a few which the BizTalk console shows as "Running"
- they are all in the Isolated Adapter
- tried doing a Stop with Full Stop option ...
- tried the Terminate Instance option ...
- even tried deleting the BizTalk application

But they're still there ??

---

my bad, the application delete did remove them, must have forgot to refresh

---

Event log has the errors ...

A request-response for the "HTTP" adapter at receive location "/foanite/BTSHTTPReceive.dll" has timed out before a response could be delivered.

but I still don't understand why the terminate wouldn't work

Answer 1

If you are running an Receive Location in an isolated host you normally need to perform a iisreset to be able to delete them.

Answer 2

If the IISReset does't help (it often doesn't) then use the BizTalk Health Monitor.

• Select "Maintenance" from left-and tree view
• For Task Type, select "Delete" and "Terminate Single Instance (Hard Termination)"
• Paste the instance id taken from the BizTalk admin console
• Click "Execute Task"
