Rule Engine Configuration and Tunin...

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004

The following table contains a list of registry keys that may be useful for configuration validation and troubleshooting. These registry keys are stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BusinessRules\3.0.

With the exception of the first three keys listed, these keys are intended to allow products—and not users—to customize the rule engine. All of them are created upon installation; however, no interface is provided to set any of these values.

The definitions for the table columns are as follows:

Name. Name of the registry key.
Use. A brief description about the location or use of the key.
Accessor. Name of function in configuration.cs used to retrieve the value.
Config default. Value returned if the key does not exist.
Install default. Value set by BizTalk Server when installing the rule engine.
