BizTalk EDI Leap Year Fix FAQ
As you may have heard, there is an issue in the BizTalk 2006 R2 and 2009 EDI Engines that results in a failed EDI transaction if the EDI message contains a date node that has a leap year value - for example 2/29/2012. This issue and hotfix is documented at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2435900. With 2/29/2012 just days away, this is a big deal and you will want to address this issue in your environment ASAP.
