Cannot remove lock on file using custom receive pipeline

Question

I am building a custom receive pipeline. I am performing operations on a file within the Decode class. I am getting an error the BT has lock on the file while I am attempting to perform a different action on this file. There is no valid operation where BT needs to maintain an ongoing lock on the file. How can I get BT to release the file?

Answer 2

I had similar issue with pipeline which used a file storage.

It happened when this pipeline was started sumultaneously in couple ports. So rethinking / redesigning the workflow could help.

But maybe the problem is in locking file in development time? It is not clear from your question.

In this case try to move locked file to another folder (you cannot delete it but can move it).

OR rename file

OR restart Visual Studio

OR restart OS

OK, maybe you misunderstood the question. I am not refering to the actual Pipeline component DLL but the actual FILE that I am pulling in with my Pipeline component that is locking up.

You use the file receive adapter to read messages from files and submit them to the server. The receive adapter reads the file and creates a BizTalk Message object, so that BizTalk Server can process the message. While reading from the file, the adapter locks the file to ensure that no modifications can be made to the file content.
