Has anyone got any pointers on good practices / potential designs for handling the situation in a BizTalk orchestration were the response from a long-running service has failed, so the initiation message needs to be resent

I have the situation where an orchestration is sending a message to an MSMQ queue and then waiting on a response back on another queue. Now the response time should be less than a minute, but the “service” on the other end of the queue is occasionally failing …

and it’s not something I have any control over, so I can’t change/correct it

Is there some design pattern that I can use in BizTalk to timeout and resend the initiating message ?

    standard BPEL defines a “Pick” activity
    and BizTalk has “Listen” shape for that
    so you can basically define a timeout period for your receiving activity on the reply queue
    after that, you might want a boolean flag to decide whether to loop back/retry or the receive is successful and therefore the business process continues on.
