How to Configure Tracking for a Send Port
This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to configure tracking for a send port, such as options to view message bodies and promoted properties. This helps you monitor the health of your BizTalk implementation and identify any bottlenecks. The tracking settings that you configure apply to all of the instances of the send port.
