How to Diagnose Problems with the File Adapter

This section contains steps that can be followed to help diagnose problems with the File adapter.

Download the FileMon utility from www.sysinternals.com.
Install the Filemon utility on the server that hosts the folder or share that is being read from or written to by the File Adapter.
Launch the Filemon utility and apply a filter to monitor only file accesses that are being made by the BizTalk Host instance that the file adapter handlers are running in (for example BTSNTSvc.exe).
Run the scenario that caused the problem.
Disable file monitoring in the Filemon utility, then save the generated log file to disk.
Review the generated log file for any errors.

Note
