Using BizTalk Adapter Tracing

  • Artikkel

This topic describes how to install the Trace Log tool and how to enable BizTalk adapter tracing.

Install the Trace Log Tool

To install the Trace Log tool (tracelog.exe)

  1. Download the Trace Log tool from the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista Web site.

    Note

    Install this version (6.0) of the SDK even if you are running Windows Server 2008 SP2. If you install the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 version (v. 6.1), it will not install the Trace Log tool.

  2. Start the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista Web installation program by clicking the link for the PSDK-x86.exe file at the bottom of the Web page.

    Note

    If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows choose the correct files to download for your system.

  3. In the Select an Installation Type dialog box, choose the option for a Custom installation, and then click Next.

  4. Accept the default installation location and then click Next.

  5. In the Custom Installation dialog box, click to clear all the available features.

  6. Expand the Microsoft Windows Core SDK feature, and then expand the Tools feature.

  7. Choose the Tools (Intel 64-bit) feature, and then click Will be installed on local hard drive.

  8. Click Next, and then click Next again to start the installation.

    Note

    After installing the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista you may be prompted to reboot depending upon what other features you chose to install along with the Trace Log tool. This is because certain components of the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista will not function correctly until the reboot has been completed. You do not need to reboot to use the Trace Log tool.

Enable BizTalk Adapter Tracing with trace.cmd

To enable BizTalk adapter tracing

  1. At a command prompt, change the current directory to the directory where BizTalk Server is installed. By default, BizTalk Server is installed in the \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION> directory. If using a 64-bit version of Windows and BizTalk Server, the installation path is \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server.

  2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    trace -tools "Path of the Trace Log tool"

    By default, the Trace Log tool (tracelog.exe) is located in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin directory. If using a 64-bit version of Windows the Trace Log tool is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin. You must enclose the path of the Trace Log tool in quotation marks.

    For example, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    trace -tools "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin"

    Note

    The -tools switch indicates to the Trace.cmd file the location of the Tracelog.exe file.

    If the command successfully runs, the output will be like below:

    trace 2.0 - Manage BizTalk 2006 Release Bits Tracing.

    Setting TRACE_TOOL_SEARCH_PATH to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin "

Capture Trace output with trace.cmd

To capture trace output

  1. At a command prompt, change the current directory to the directory where BizTalk Server is installed.

  2. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    trace -start

  3. Reproduce the scenario for which you want to capture trace output.

  4. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    trace -stop

  5. After you stop the trace, a binary file that is named Btstrace.bin is generated in the folder where BizTalk Server is installed.

  6. Send the Btstrace.bin file to Microsoft Product Support Services for analysis.
