Can't call itinerary without restarting the application

Question

i have a problem with calling itinerary everytime i start my server. i have only one server and since it doesnt have much capacity, i need to turn off the biztalk server(running on vmware) when i am not using it. when i start the computer and try to send itinerary request using test client, i get the error, request timed out. there are no errors in the event log. all the applications microsoft.practices.esb, globalbank.esb and my application consisting of orchestrations are started. i don't know what's wrong.

but when i run the script setup_bin.cmd for installing the itinerary onramp sampe ( which restarts globalbank.esb and other applications), it works instantly.

i am getting paranoid. everytime i start the server, i need to re-install itinerary onramp sample for all those things to work. is there anything i am doing wrong?

Answer 1

actually, i just need to restart microsoft.practices.esb application for my itinerary request to work, every single time i restart my server. please let me know what the problems here.
