BizTalk 2013 Installation and Configuration – Configure SQL Server Network Configuration protocols (Part 10)

Under certain stress conditions (such as clients accessing SQL Server from the same computer), the SQL Server Shared Memory protocol may lower BizTalk Server performance. You can resolve this problem by disabling the use of the Shared Memory network protocol in the SQL Server Network Configuration. Also, to facilitate transactions between SQL Server and BizTalk Server, you must enable TCP/IP and Named Pipes in SQL Server.

To configure the protocols for SQL Server:

  • Press the “Windows key” to switch to Metro UI and type “SQL Server Configuration Manager” and click on “SQL Server Configuration Manager” option on Apps menu.
