BizTalk 2006 Bulk delete of service instances is Supported

The new Biztalk 2006 administration console lets you group results. Below is a screenshot of this..

The nice thing of BT 2006 is that you can click on a group and terminate all instances, In 2004 this was impossible, And if you have to terminate 800.000 entries (this happened once) it would take a day or so in BT 2004. In BT 2004 you could only terminate 2000 instances at a time.

Now in BT 2006 just hit the terminate button (right-click with mouse to get the context menu) and it will start deleting all instances….

And in the end everything is deleted as expected

Note there are 2821 records deleted, so not the limit of 2000 that existed in BT 2004.

If you have an orchestration that’s in a loop or for some reason orchestrations pile up to huge amounts you can now easily delete those instances
