MessageBox database is known as the heart of BizTalk Engine. Publish-Subscribe Architecture completely relies on this database.

The logical routing of messages, fulfilling subscriptions and message tracking are carried out through this database.

This tip contains the list of Messagebox DB tables and their details.

S.No Table Name Details
1 ActiveRefCountLog If a message is being subscribed by multiple subscribers, There will be MessageRefCountLogs which will aggregate the list of subscribers per message, once this count reaches the maximum value, SQL server agent job will carry out this aggregation and deletes those messages from DB
