How to Create a Tracking Profile

You create tracking profiles to link BAM activity definitions to deployed assemblies and BizTalk Server messaging properties. When you open the Tracking Profile Editor, you can create a new tracking profile by either clicking the import activity link or the import menu item.

Prerequisites

The following are prerequisites for performing the procedure in this topic:

• An existing BizTalk Management database to which you have permissions.

• The TPE configured to use the BizTalk Management database.

• An existing BAM activity definition in the BAM Primary Import database.

To create a tracking profile

1. On the computer or computers that you have identified as the source system, open the Tracking Profile Editor. To do this, click Start, click Run, type BTSTrkEditor.exe, and then click OK.

   Note

   On a system that supports User Account Control (UAC), you may need to run the tool with Administrative privileges. To do this, right-click the application, and then select Run as administrator.

2. In the middle of the left pane of the TPE, click Click here to import a BAM Activity Definition link. This opens the Import BAM Activity Definition dialog box.

3. From the BAM Activity Definition Name list box select the activity on which to base the tracking. If your list contains many deployed activities, you can type part of the activity name in the In String text box and click the Search button. This limits the list of activities displayed to those whose names contain the partial name entered.

4. Once you have selected the activity, click the OK button. This opens a new tracking profile based on the activity selected and displays the profile in the left pane of the TPE.
