One of my clients report me that, they
cannot track BizTalk message though turn on the track message properties in
send/receive port or orchestration.
Then I connect to their BizTalk 2009, turn
on the tracked messages for some send port, receive port, orchestration to test
it, but very strange, when I open the send port, receive port, orchestration
again, all the tracked message properties roll back to unchecked(turn off).
I take nearly an hour to check it and
finally found that the “Global Tracking” properties was turned off(The client
told me they have the performance issue in the last Thanksgiving, that’s why they
turn off it, but forgot it). Then I try to turn it on and everything is OK
finally.
Here are the steps from Microsoft about how
to turn on/off Global Tracking.
How to Turn Off Global Tracking
By default, global tracking is enabled when you install BizTalk
Server 2010. The BizTalk Tracking (BizTalkDTADb) database grows in size as
BizTalk Server processes data on your system. If the size of the BizTalk
Tracking database causes poor disk performance, you can purge the data from the
Tracking database. If you are having performance issues that are momentarily
addressed by purging the BizTalk tracking database, and you want to configure
BizTalk to no longer collect tracking information, you may want to consider
turning off global tracking.
It is important to understand that turning off global tracking
disables the tracking interceptors for the entire BizTalk Server group. This
means that BizTalk will not track events in its tracking tables. Alternatively,
you can turn off tracking for individual events.
 Note |
If
you are using Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), you should maintain a
dedicated tracking host, even if you disable global tracking. This is because
BAM events use the Tracking Data Decode Service (TDDS).

You must be logged on with an account that is a member of the
SQL Server sysadmin fixed server role to perform this procedure.
1.
On the SQL server that hosts
the BizTalk Tracking (BizTalkDTADb) database, click Start,
click Programs, click Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 R2, and then click SQL
Server Management Studio.
2.
In the Connect
to Server dialog
box, verify the server name and authentication, and then click Connect.

In the table viewer, scroll
horizontally until you find GlobalTrackingOption.
5.
In the GlobalTrackingOption column, change the value from 1 to 0,
to turn off this feature, and then press ENTER.
6.
Close Microsoft SQL Server
Management Studio.
| Note |
