Intoduction

I have seen many people have faced this issue when trying to reconfigure the BizTalk EDI/AS2 Runtime. Due to any reason if you unconfigure and uninstall the BizTalk Server and trying to Configure it again you will get below error.

“DTS package BAM_DM_ResendJournalActivity already exists on server <ServerName>”

Root Cause

It is because the EDI/AS2 DTS (Data Transformation Services) packages are not automatically removed when you uninstall it from SQL Integration Services after you unconfigure the EDI/AS2 Runtime feature.

Solution

There are two methods to resolve this issue.

Solution 1

Use the Bm.exe utility from the command prompt to remove the DTS packages:

Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Use the CD command to locate the folder where the Bm.exe file is located.

Note: By default, the Bm.exe file is located in the following folder:

- BizTalk Server 2006: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006Tracking
- BizTalk Server 2009: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009Tracking
- BizTalk Server 2010: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010Tracking
- BizTalk Server 2013: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013Tracking
- BizTalk Server 2013R2: Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013R2Tracking

Please use below command to locate Tracking folder (For BizTalk 2013),

CD C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013Tracking

- Bm.exe remove-all -DefinitionFile:”C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013AS2ReportingActivityDefs.xml”
- Bm.exe remove-all -DefinitionFile:”C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013EdiReportingActivityDefs.xml”
- Bm.exe remove-all -DefinitionFile:”C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013EdiReportingActivityIndexes.xml”

Once remove the DTS packages, Try to configure the BizTalk Server EDI/AS2 Runtime feature again.

Solution 2

Use SQL Server Management Studio to remove the DTS packages:

To resolve this problem, use SQL Server Management Studio to remove the DTS packages. To do this, follow these steps:

Start SQL Server Management Studio, click Connect, and then select Integration Services.
