“parameter is incorrect” error during orchestration enlistment

I had an interesting problem yesterday, and Google wasn’t able to find anything to help me, so I thought I’d do a post it here for the benefit of others that may experience the same thing.

 

I had a project that built and compiled fine, but when I went to enlist the orchestration, I got a “parameter is incorrect” error. Not much to go on! (this was with BizTalk 2004, BizTalk 2006 may work differently)

 

I found some references that implied this could be caused by a missing dependency, but that didn’t seem to fit here as I had quintuple-checked all dependencies.

 

After some digging, it turns out that what was failing was that there was a namespace issue with a promoted property. I was using that promoted property as part of a filter condition in a dynamically bound activating receive port. When the enlistment process ran, it was unable to create the subscription, resulting in this error.

 

It all makes perfect sense (now!)

Please let me know if you still have this problem with 2006 as "parameter is incorrect" is not exactly an error we want to return to users. :) :) If you give us a clearer repro we could open a bug for SP2 of 2004 (whenever that is). Thx and hope your 56 proc deal is going well.

Hi, the same sort of thing has happened to me. I had to re-install windows so I backed up all my wanted files and put them onto a disk. After installing windows, I tried to put the files back on to my computer. But i was getting the "parameter is incorrect" error. The only thing that went on was a few music files. But not all of them. I have no idea what this error means and it appears the no one on the net does either. I was wondering if you knew what I should do?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm running into this exact issue, I believe. I'm getting an error enlisting an Orchestration, and the subscription to that Orchestration is based on a promoted property as you described.

What exactly was the 'namespace issue' you described? I'm trying to figure out what to look for to correct the issue.

Thanks in advance

Nevermind, found it. In my case, the 'namespace issue' was that the namespace on a property schema was changed, but the assembly containing that change wasn't deployed properly to the test environment. So, when the Orchestration (which was looking for the new namespace) tried to enlist it couldn't find the promoted property.

Thanks for blogging about this, as it helped set me on the right track pretty quickly.
