        Hi All,  I am fairly new to BizTalk and I am setting up a new BizTalk project using BizTalk Server 2006 R2, HL7
        Accelerator, Visual Studio 2005, Deployment Framework for BizTalk 5.0,
        and log4net.  

        The deployment framework and log4net were partially setup
        when the project was provided to me.
        I’m
        not sure how or where to setup log4net correctly.  I initially had
        other log4net errors which I corrected by manually putting the log4net
        dll’s in the GAC.  Other than         Deployment Framework for BizTalk  I have not installed anything related to log4net or Nant (whatever that is) 🙂

        The project compiles and deploys fine, but once I
        send an HL7 message and it hits the logging within an orchestration I get
        the following error pulled from Event Viewer:
        …
        Shape name: Trace Setup
        ShapeId: ae11f7bc-98ac-4e09-afdc-213485b366aa
        Exception thrown from: segment 1, progress 9
        Inner exception: log4netConfigHelper: Unable to read registry key for log4net configuration location.
        Exception type: Exception
        Source: log4net.Ext.Serializable
        Target Site: System.String Getlog4netConfigLocation(System.String)
        The following is a stack trace that identifies the location where the exception occured
           at log4net.Ext.Config.RegistryConfigurator.Getlog4netConfigLocation(String registryPath)
           at log4net.Ext.Config.RegistryConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(String domainName, String registryPath)
           at log4net.Ext.Serializable.SLog.RegistryConfigurator()
           at Orchestrations.IncomingHL7ToHL7Order.segment1(StopConditions stopOn)
           at Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.SegmentScheduler.RunASegment(Segment s, StopConditions stopCond, Exception& exp)

         

        Any ideas what I am missing?

          Not an expert, but I’ve found various errors like that are tracking back to the account which the BizTalk service is running under not having correct permissions …

          – on my dev box, it’s local administrator (which I know is naughty)

          – on the main test box, it’s not in the admin group, so I get things like file access, event log exceptions as the account isn’t in Administrators

            I have seen some put log4net configuration in the BTSNTSvc.exe.config file.  Open this file (located in Program files\microsoft BiztalkServer 0 to se eif it is in there.  Also may need to create a nEventSource for log4Net.
