This cumulative update package for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 CU3 contains hotfixes for the BizTalk Server 2013 issues that were resolved after the release of BizTalk Server 2013.
We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new update release contains all the hotfixes and all the security updates that were included in the previous BizTalk Server 2013 update release. We recommend that you consider applying the most recent BizTalk Server 2013 update release.
Important information about the cumulative update package
- One cumulative hotfix package includes all the component packages. However, a cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.

Note If you use MQSeries adapter, MQSAgent.dll must be updated on the IBM WebSphere MQ server to the same Cumulative Update level as on BizTalk Server.

How to obtain cumulative update package 3 for BizTalk Server 2013
BizTalk Server uses a cumulative update (CU) model for providing fixes and updates. Each cumulative update includes new updates as well as all of the updates included in the previous cumulative updates. Microsoft recommends testing and then applying the latest CU to all BizTalk environments.
All new fixes are publicly released in the upcoming cumulative update. Stand-alone fixes may be provided prior to the next cumulative update if the reported problem is critical, has significant business impact, and does not have a workaround. Stand-alone fixes (if provided) require the latest released cumulative update as a prerequisite.
