        Hi all,

        I am currently working on multiple BT04 projects, and when I apply a change and deploy it I’m finding it doesn’t take effect quickly no matter what I do.  I’ve tried restarting host instances manually and by script, undeploying and redeploying, clearing the project from the GAC, and even restarting the server.  I also changed the caching on the group from 60 seconds to 2 which had no impact either.   But it seems the old structure is still the one used by BT.  Is there some kind of server caching that needs to be cleared?  This is adding huge amounts of time to development, not to mention how frustrating it is.  Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or what I might be missing?  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

        Thanks!

          Hmmm… A couple of things to try.

          * Check if any of your project dlls are on the biztalk installation folder (usually c:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004).

          * Un-gac all the versions and references of you solution dlls by running gacutil with the /uf parameter

          * If your solutions involve IIS also restart IIS

          * Terminate all the suspended and zombie and other instances you might have in BizTalk (this script might be useful http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb203857.aspx)

              Thank for the quick response.  I ran through all of the steps you listed.  The DLL wasn’t there, and gacutil had no effect when the service was undeployed.  It doesn’t require IIS.  I did terminate all instances left in the HAT.  Once all that was done and the host instance was restarted, I noticed my changes took effect.  However, when I made a new change, ran through the steps, and redeployed I had the same problem.  I undeployed the project and ran through everything again and the changes too effect.  I know BT doesn’t require all of this in order to see new changes so something is wrong here.  If anyone has any ideas what could be happening I’d really love to hear them.  I’d like to resolve this issue since it’s so time-consuming.  I also made sure the project is set for redeploys as well.

              Thanks!
