Activity Logger Pipeline Component

Activity Logger Pipeline Component

Activity logger pipeline component is responsible for tracking events from receive and send pipelines. The behaviour of the pipeline component is dependent on the properties which are configured.

Following are the properties inside the pipeline component.

ArchiveMessage

1. To archive a message in a stage, we need to set this property. Though this property can be set at any stage, as a best practice it is recommended to be set in two places.
2. To archive the message at the entry point in a receive pipeline.
3. To archive the message leaving BizTalk in a send pipeline. However, there is no restriction setting this property at any other stages.

BusinessTransaction
Business Transaction is a collection of related stages or milestones that achieve a specific activity. This should match the Transaction Name in Atomic Scope portal.

Adding pipeline components to a custom pipeline

The Visual Studio toolbox will have the Atomic Scope Activity Logger pipeline component as shown in the image.

If the pipeline components are not present in the toolbox then you will have to choose it from the Choose Toolbox Items as shown below.
