BizTalk : The configuration section for Logging cannot be found in the configuration source.

You will find this error while you will running / testing your orchestration. The error is telling that the configuration section for logging cannot be found in the configuration source.

So You will go to change your configuration file. I have done the same.

But it will not resolve your problem. The main problem is not in your application's configuration file. But the problem is in the BTSNTSvc.exe.config file, located in your installcation directory. So please enter the logging details in this file. Then test your Orchestration. I am sure it will resolve your problem.Cheers:)

I am adding the following(at 14th August,2008) after getting comments from some friends(E.R. Joell & PeteM). Thanks buddy:

We needs to add the following block in the BTSNTSVC.exe.config file (that you can find in C:/Program Files/Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006) inside the <configSections></configSections>:

======================================================

<section name="loggingConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

======================================================

And add the following block just after </ConsigSection>:

======================================================

<loggingConfiguration name="Logging Application Block" tracingEnabled="true"
defaultCategory="General" logWarningsWhenNoCategoriesMatch="true">

<add fileName="C:/log/testrolling.log" rollSizeKB="0" timeStampPattern="yyyy-MM-dd"
