| Message: | The message could not be moved to deadletter queue %1. The deadletter queue needs to be transactional. The message will be moved to the system transactional dead letter queue.

Resolve
Make the per-app dead-letter queue transactional or the messages being sent to it nontransactional
The dead-letter queue that is specified in the event is nontransactional, but there are transactional messages trying to go there.
To allow messages to go to the dead-letter queue, recreate the dead-letter queue as a transactional queue, or if you have control over the messages that are being sent to the queue, ensure that the messages are nontransactional.
To recreate the dead-letter queue as a transactional queue, create a new transactional queue with all the same properties as the original dead-letter queue, but make the new queue transactional.
For more information about creating queues, see Create Queues (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=104735).
