Hello,
Receiving daily BHM reports from my customers, I notice that some are coming from very old version of BHM (3.x) and others from the RTM v4.2, but few of them are coming from the latest build of BHM. But what "latest build" means really ?
BHM has in fact a self-update feature to update automatically its main components (if the server running BHM is Internet connected of course) :
- "Health Check" runtime: myhc.dll
- MMC Snapin: mbvsnapin.dll
- Collector : bhmcollect.exe
- Query/Rule repository: myhcqueries_mbvqueries.dll
- Maintenance repository : maintenancerep.dll
- Scheduling svc : bhmsvc.exe
By default the BHM snapin will check every 15 days for an update.
When doing that, it is checking on Azure for signed updated BHM components and propose you to download updated components.
If you accept the components they will be downloaded on your box running BHM and BHM will be then restarted and updated. That's all !
You can also manually check for updates in the BHM snapin :
In BHM Snapin you can have all details of the version of its components in its About box :
So please remember to update periodically BHM if not already done to get at least some fresh repositories (query/rule and maintenance).
We update indeed very frequently the BHM query/rule repository to add queries and rules and raise so more warnings when a new BizTalk or HIS CU is avail, when a new Feature Pack is avail, when we identify some frequent issues/bugs to detect , to fix some false warnings, etc..
As usual, feel free to let you comments or raise your questions
