BizTalk 2013 Installation and Configuration – Configure BizTalk Server Windows Services (Part 16)

By default, the “Startup type” propriety of BizTalk Windows Services, Enterprise Single Sign-On Service, Microsoft UDDI Notification Service, and the new BAMAlerts service are set to “Automatic”, however some of this Windows Services may not start automatically after a system restart, to avoid this behavior you must configure the “Startup type” to “Automatic (Delayed Start)” option in this services:

• BAMAlerts
• Microsoft UDDI Notification Service
• Rule Engine Update Service

The previous version of BizTalk Server also had this problem for:

• Enterprise Single Sign-On Service
• BizTalk Service BizTalk Group : BizTalkServerApplication Service

However this problem has been resolved in this release, despite being configured as “Automatic“, the Recovery properties are configured to restart the service after failures

To properly configure the “BAMAlerts” and “Microsoft UDDI Notification Service” Windows service:

• Press the “Windows key” to switch to Metro UI and type “Services” and click on “View local services” option on the Settings menu.

• In the Services window, on the Services (Local) panel, select the BAMAlerts service, right click and select “Properties” option.

• On the BAMAlerts Properties (Local Computer) window:
  • On the General tab apply the following configuration.
    • Startup type: “Automatic (Delayed Start)”

• On the Recovery tab, apply the following configuration:
  • First failure: “Restart the Service”
  • Second failure: “Restart the Service”
  • Subsequent failures: “Restart the Service”
  • Reset fail count after … day: 1
  • Restart service after … minutes: 1

• Click “OK” to apply the changes and close the window
