What could be the cause of the
c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL\\Data\BizTalkMsgBoxDb_log.LDF
file is 5.5 Gb large? Last week it was only 4 Gb. It eats my space on the disk.
What can be done? Can it be, that I have done a mistake somewhere in some settings?
It’s the server, and there are no more free space, so in few days the system will crash. -

It runs automatically, but the .ldf file grows and grows.
The DataBizTalkMsgBoxDb.mdf file is only19 Mb.
Why can then the log file so big? Can I delete the logs by hand? Or are there a Stored Proc in the SQL that makes it?
Today, the disk has 0 byte free space. There must be a way, to clean the log file. I don’t like to reinstall the server.There are another server I use, there the log.ldf is only 1.75 Mb. In the setting I didn’t find any difference.

There is a \”Backup BizTalk Server\” Job, and I tried to run it, but it stopped with an error. The backup itself was complete (I get the backup files), but at the second step(\”MarkAndBackupLog\”) it runs into an error: the sp_MarkAll stored procedure can’t finish.
Can it be, that the log file’s growing comes from here?
How can I set the job to run correctly? I set the Backup’s name, the file’s place.In the SQL Server Enterprise Manager I checked the properties of the BizTalkMsgBoxDb. I saw, that the log file has unrestricted file size (by default), and I can’t set it to lower. I can’t delete it, because it is the primary .ldf file.

Do you have SQLAgent running.
There are a number of SQL jobs continuously cleaning and archiving the Biztalk databases. You need to have SQLAgent set for automatic start.

Are you backing up the Biztalk Databases.
The log files basically stores all the transactions that occur on the database. This allows a rebuild of the database from a backup and reapplying the logged transactions.As the MessageBox is a transitory database, it only stores stuff that is in-process or about to be copied to the BiztalkDTADb, it should remain fairly small.
However each transaction against the database will create a log record, even when data is deleted.Because the Biztalk databases are all interlinked there is a Backup job provided but this must be setup to run.

I thnk you need to find out why the transaction log backup is failing.
Here are some links to some useful info on Biztalk backups.[url]http://sydbiz.org/Home/tabid/36/ctl/Details/mid/414/ItemID/6/Default.aspx[/url]

So the maintenance jobs for shrinking the database/logfile are really running, but the logfile still grows?
Did you try shrinking the logfile manually through the \”Enterprise Manager\” mmc?
