We recently upgraded our database server but in doing so, we broke all our NServiceBus-based Windows Services. Through the logs we noticed that the NServiceBus message handlers weren’t able to open database connections to our new SQL Server instance, instead throwing the following exception:

System.Transactions.TransactionException: The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D025) ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D025)

   at System.Transactions.Oletx.ITransactionShim.Export(UInt32 whereaboutsSize, Byte[] whereabouts, Int32& cookieIndex, UInt32& cookieSize, CoTaskMemHandle& cookieBuffer)

   at System.Transactions.TransactionInterop.GetExportCookie(Transaction transaction, Byte[] whereabouts)

Turns out Microsoft has an excellent step-by-step tutorial on how to fix this issue. The exception was thrown because the database server didn’t have the network DTC access enabled, but after following the steps from the guide and restarting the server, the problem went away.

Unfortunately, as most of you have probably noticed, I have failed miserably to to keep-up with the weekly release rate of NServiceBus Weekly. Because of this, I’m giving up the planned weekly release schedule but still still plan to publish new editions quite frequently. It’s my hope that I also find time to write couple NServiceBus tutorials in the near future.

And here’s one big NServiceBus related news item: NServiceBus 2.5 has been released (some time ago) and it has a homepage with a new design.

It has been long time coming but here it is: The 11th edition of the NServiceBus Weekly. Since the last edition the NServiceBus project has changed quite dramatically: It’s now hosted on a different source control service.

News

  • NServiceBus’ source code has moved to GitHub! This is a change I personally like very much, excellent news!
  • Project Changes – As usual, the NServiceBus team has brought us a great deal of new commits. For example, there has been changes to the extensibility of configuration sources. Click the link to find out more information.
