Re: Document specification failed to load error

Hi,
I am following the BizTalk Server 2006 tutorials by Microsoft. When I use a receive shape to receive a one-way message from a Web service, I get the following error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: BizTalk Server 2006

Description:
There was a failure executing the receive pipeline:
\"Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines.XMLReceive, Microsoft.BizTalk.DefaultPipelines, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35\"
Source: \"XML disassembler\"
Receive Port: \"ASN_ReceivePort\" URI: \"/b2borchestrations_webservice/B2BOrchestrations_B2BProcess_ReceiveASN_Port.asmx\"
Reason: The document specification <B2BSchemas.AdvancedShipNotice> from assembly <B2BSchemas, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f5f7841d15c6dc86> failed to load. Verify the schema for this document specification is deployed and is in the Global Assembly Cache.

This receive port is a port of the orchestration exposed as a Web service. I tried to undeploy ( including removing the assemlies manually from GAC ) and redeploy the solution ( following the tutorial exactly or adjusting it ) three times. But simply cannot get rid of this problem. Your help is greatly appreciated. I am new to BizTalk. Thanks.

You can quickly check whether a schema is deployed or not.

There is a file C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\\Developer Tools\\BtsAsmExt.dll that enables you to browse the deploy Biztalk asssemblies

[code:1:89eca9a1b0]cd C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\\Developer Tools
regsvr32 btsasmext.dll
Close Windows Explorer
Open Windows Explorer[/code:1:89eca9a1b0]

Under My Computer you should have a Biztalk Server Assemblies node.

If you don't have the SDK installed you can copy just this file to the Biztalk Server.

The schema type is defined using the target namespace and root node.
You need to check the incoming suspended message and make sure the target namespace and root node match your expected schema.
e.g.
<root xmlns=\"targetnamespace\">
or
<ns0:root xmlns:ns0=\"targetnamespace\">

Another gotcha - if you redeploy an assembly you need to restart the Biztalk Host Instance. In this case the Biztalk Isolated Host Instance which is IIS - just use the iisreset command.

Thank you. Restarting BizTalk Host Instance resolved my issues. Appreciate the help provided here.

Hi,

Stumbled upon the same problem but I'm using BizTalk 2010. I managed to solve the issue by referring to this article: www.mpspartners.com/.../BizTalk2010andAssemblyCache

My webservice application pool must use the same .NET Framework version with BizTalk, in this case v4. If not, both are not looking into the same version of assembly cache. Just to share if anyone else stumbled upon the same error.

rgds,

Thanks Suzal.. I changed .Net version for my application pool and it started working for me as well..

Restarting host instances worked for me too! :D Thanks :)
