How to Disable Tracking

  • Artikkel

This topic describes how to disable tracking using the BizTalk Server Administration console. You can configure various tracking options during runtime for orchestrations, send ports, receive ports, and pipelines using the BizTalk Server Administration console. You can change the tracking options for an item at any time, without interrupting the business process.

Prerequisites

To perform the procedure in this topic, you must be logged on with an account that is a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group. For more detailed information about permissions, see Permissions for Managing an Application.

Note

If you only want to view the tracking options, you can be logged on as a member of BizTalk Server Operators group.

To disable tracking for an orchestration

  1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand the BizTalk group, expand Applications, and then expand the application containing the orchestration for which you want to configure tracking.

  3. Click Orchestrations, and from the right pane, right-click the orchestration for which you want to configure tracking, and then click Properties.

  4. Click the Tracking tab, disable tracking options as described in the following table, and then click OK.

    Use this To do this
    Track Events - Orchestration start and end Clear this check box to disable tracking of the orchestration instance before and after processing of the entire business process.
    Track Events - Message send and receive Clear this check box to disable tracking of message send and receive events. This check box is available only if you select the Orchestration start and end check box.

    Track Message Bodies - Response message before port processing Clear this check box to disable saving and tracking of message content before the message is sent. This check box is available only for request-response receive ports. Note: You must enable message body pipeline tracking to successfully track the response message before port processing.
    Track Message Bodies - Response message after port processing Clear this check box to disable saving and tracking of message content after the message is sent. This check box is available only for request-response receive ports.
    Track Message Properties - Request message before port processing Clear this check box to disable tracking of the promoted properties of an inbound message.

To disable tracking for a policy

  1. Click Start, click Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand the BizTalk group, expand Applications, and then expand the application containing the policy for which you want to configure tracking.

  3. Click Policies, right-click the policy, click Properties, and then click Tracking.

    Agenda updates Clear this check box to disable tracking of updates to the agenda. The agenda contains a list of actions that are "true" and need to fire.

To disable tracking for a schema

  1. Click Start, click Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

  2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand the BizTalk group, expand Applications, and then expand the application containing the schema for which you want to configure tracking.

  4. In the left pane, click Tracking.

  5. Do one of the following to specify which properties that you want to disable for tracking messages, and then click OK:

    • Clear the Always track all properties check box if you do not want to use all message properties regardless of the schema version. This check box is available only for document schemas.

    • Clear the Select all message properties check box if you do not want to use all the listed properties.

    • Under Properties list, clear the check box of each property that you do not want to use.

    Note

    You should select only the options that you need, because tracking messages creates performance and storage overhead for your system.

To disable tracking for a pipeline

  1. Click Start, click Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server, and then click BizTalk Server Administration.

    Note

    If you set tracking options on pipelines, you will also set the tracking options globally for every port that uses the pipeline. This, in turn, may result in far more data being tracked than you intended, which will slow system performance. Instead, you can set tracking options on send ports and receive ports.

  2. In the console tree, expand BizTalk Server Administration, expand the BizTalk group, expand Applications, and then expand the application containing the pipeline for which you want to configure tracking.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To disable tracking for one of the default BizTalk pipelines, expand <All Artifacts>.

    • To disable tracking for a custom pipeline that has been deployed into a BizTalk application, expand the application containing the pipeline.

  4. Click the Pipelines folder, right-click the pipeline, and then click Tracking.

    Note

    To disable tracking for multiple pipelines at once, hold down the Shift key, click each pipeline to configure, right-click one of the pipelines, and then click Tracking.

  5. Disable tracking options as described in the following table, and then click OK.

    Use this To do this
    Port start and end events Clear this check box to disable tracking only when an instance starts and ends. Details include item name, assembly, and other metadata.
    Message send and receive events Clear this check box to disable the tracking of message send and receive events. This check box is available only if Port start and end events is selected.
    Message before pipeline processing Clear this check box to disable saving and tracking of the message bodies received by the pipeline, which holds metadata such as URLs and promoted properties. If this is a receive pipeline, the message body is the raw message as submitted to the pipeline by the transport component. Depending on the application, the message might be encrypted, signed, or encoded. When using a BizTalk Server map, if this is a receive pipeline, tracking takes place after the inbound map is processed.

    This check box is available only if Message send and receive events is selected.
    Message after pipeline processing Clear this check box to disable saving and tracking of the message bodies sent by the pipeline, which holds metadata such as URLs and promoted properties. If this is a receive pipeline, the message body is the processed message to be submitted to the MessageBox database, which may be XML depending on your application. When using a BizTalk Server map, if this is a send pipeline, tracking takes place before the outbound map is processed.

    This check box is available only if Message send and receive events is selected.
