How to Apply and Remove a Tracking Profile
Once you have created or modified the tracking profile, the next step is to apply it to a test database and verify the result through integration testing. You can apply the tracking profile from within Tracking Profile Editor (TPE) itself or by using the command line.
Prerequisites
A previously created tracking profile that you saved to your hard drive.
To apply the tracking profile from within the TPE
Click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft BizTalk Server 20xx, and then click Tracking Profile Editor.
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.
On the File menu, click Open. Navigate to the correct .btt file on your hard drive. Click Open to load it.
On the Tools menu, click Apply Tracking Profile to apply the .btt file to a management database that you have set from the Set Management Database menu item on the Tools menu. Verify the result through integration testing.
Notify the person in your organization responsible for deployment that the tracking profile tests correctly and is ready for deployment.
To apply the tracking profile from the command line
From the command prompt, run the bttdeploy.exe tool located in the \Tracking folder as follows:
bttdeploy.exe <profile name>.btt
Note
You must have BizTalk Administrator privileges to use this tool.
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.
Important
During the deployment, bttdeploy verifies the assembly version contained in the tracking profiles and matches it to the version of the deployed assembly. Bttdeploy will fail if the assembly is not currently deployed.
Important
When applying a tracking profile from the command line, bttdeploy applies the profile to the BizTalk Management database that you indicated when you ran the configuration wizard. If you specify a different database setting in the Tracking Profile Editor Option "Set Management Database," then that setting is used. If you specify a management server and database as part of the command line option to bttdeploy, then the command line option overrides everything else. For more information about using bttdeploy, see Tracking Profile Deployment Utility.
