Following my last blog post and while I was trying to fix some issues regarding a BizTalk Server 2020 installation and configuration provided by my intern as is learning process. We end up solving some critical problems that allow us to install the platform’s most important components. Nevertheless, several components like BAM Tools, BAM Portal and BizTalk EDI/AS2 Runtime failed to configure:
Once, we inspect the logfile provide the the BizTalk Server Configurarion Wizard we found the following error message:
[2020-11-10 22:17:18:0674 Error Configuration Framework]Feature: [BAM Tools] Failed to configure with error message [Feature is skipped due to failed validation. Please go to Custom Configuration to fix the validation error.
Validation Error: <Exception Message=”Error validating the SSIS Catalog database. Please ensure SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the local machine and SSIS Catalog is created on target SQL Server.” Source=”BAMTools” HelpID=”idsErrorValidateSSISCatalogDatabase”><Exception Message=”SSIS Catalog (SSISDB) does not exist on server BTS2020LABAVMRG. Please create SSIS Catalog.” Source=”Microsoft.BizTalk.Bam.CfgExtHelper.ToolsHelper” HelpID=”error_SSISCatalogNotExists”/></Exception>]
[2020-11-10 22:17:18:0674 Error Configuration Framework]Feature: [BAM Portal] Failed to configure with error message [The Configuration of Feature ‘BAM Portal’ failed because the dependent Feature ‘BAM Tools’ was not configured. ]
[2020-11-10 22:17:18:0674 Error Configuration Framework]Feature: [BizTalk EDI/AS2 Runtime] Failed to configure with error message [Feature is skipped due to dependent feature (BAM Tools) failed to configure correctly.]
Three distinct errors but the last two are a sequence of the first one, all of them are related to the same cause.
Cause
SSISDB was automatically created during the BizTalk Server configuration process on previous versions if we enable BAM Portal. However, BAM Portal was deprecated in this new BizTalk Server version, and the configuration process no longer created the SSIS Catalog. Instead, we need to create the catalog manually.
If you don’t create the SSIS Catalog manually, you will not be able to configure BAM Portal. Nevertheless, you can always perform this operation whenever you think is required, and after that, configure BAM Portal.
Make sure you also configure SQL Server Database Mail feature if you wish to configure BAM Alerts on your BizTalk Server 2020 environment
Solution
The solution is very simple, we need to manually create the catalog by using the following instructions:
- Open SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the SQL Server Database Engine.
- In Object Explorer, expand the server node, right-click the Integration Services Catalogs node, and then click Create Catalog.
- On the Create Catalog window, do the following configuration and click OK.
- Select Enable CLR Integration option.
- Enter a password to protect the encryption key.
And run the BizTalk Server Configuration again. At the end you will be able to configure all BizTalk Server components.
