BizTalk Document Tracking is a stand-alone Web application that you can use to view the progress of documents processed by Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000. You can create queries or advanced queries to extract essential information from the Tracking database in an easy-to-view format. For example, in BizTalk Document Tracking you can view captured information about the document source and destination, the document name and document type, and relevant date and time parameters. Or you can create queries that display standard and custom-search fields so you can analyze your business practices. For example, a Purchase Order Total field can be stored for every purchase order sent to suppliers. You can then use this data to analyze and report the monetary volume of purchases to one or several suppliers over a period of time.

In addition, you can configure BizTalk Document Tracking to display interchange and document records individually or in batches. You can also use BizTalk Document Tracking to display, view, and save complete copies of the incoming and outgoing document instances for future reference.

Important

• Because BizTalk Document Tracking is accessed as a Web application by using Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 Help is accessed differently and Help functionality is somewhat restricted. The Table of Contents, Index, Search, and Favorites tabs are not available. You can access all topics through links from the opening page, and through Related Topics links as well as the browser's Back button.

  If you want to search for a specific Help topic, or if you want to access information about other features and services of BizTalk Server 2000, on the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000, and then click BizTalk Server Documentation. For Help to be available from the Start menu, BizTalk Server 2000 must be installed on your computer.

• Because BizTalk Document Tracking uses Microsoft ActiveX Controls, an ActiveX control download dialog box might appear during selections or query submissions. If this happens, click Yes to continue.

Note

• A dialog box with the following message might appear during selection or query selection:

  To avoid this message in Internet Explorer, you can add a secure Web site to the Trusted site zones on the Security tab of the Internet Options dialog box.

  To manually configure your browser's settings to trust this Web application, add the Web application to the list of trusted sites in Internet Explorer. For more information about adding the Web application to the list of trusted sites, see Configure Internet Explorer security settings.
