As a developer or administrator you greatly benefit from taking these recipes to work. In this book a developer and administrator will see how to deploy, build, and maintain a BizTalk environment. How to apply patterns for robust orchestrations, messaging and testing. Administrators will learn to set up an environment using Microsoft best practices and tools to deliver a robust, performing and durable BizTalk environment. Besides setting up their environments administrators can also decide through a number of recipes how to monitor and maintain the environment. A developer can contribute to a healthy environment by implementing instrumentation in artefacts, applying well suited pattern(s) and testing the solutions built.

Using instrumentation in your BizTalk solution you have the ability to monitor behavior or to diagnose errors and to write trace information. In general, when an error occurs for instance, in an orchestration, a pipeline, or map, it will be logged in the event log, which can be viewed with the event viewer. Information provided can be enough for you to diagnose or understand the error as most of the time the stack trace is provided, too. But it may not be enough to find the root cause of the error. Instrumentation can aid in tracking an error and diagnosis, enabling you to find the root cause more efficiently. As a BizTalk developer, you can...
