What is the difference between the various Receive Port "Tracking Type"
options set in the BizTalk Explorer ("Before Receive", "After Receive",
both)?

Example: Assuming that message body tracking has been configured in HAT, if
a Receive Location expects a flat-file (.txt) and the "Tracking Type" on the
Receive Port is set to "Before Receive" only, will the actual flat-file
message be persisted to the DB? If the "Tracking Type" is set to "After
Receive" only, will the parsed xml representation of the flat-file be
persisted to the DB? What if the Receive Port has an Inbound Map?

You are right on track with your thoughts on the tracking. You either get
the native or parsed in this case. not sure on the map question but I
believe you will get the document as it was processed by the pipeline, but
before the maps are applied so you still get the document that was received
and not one you created.

Anyone from Microsoft care to comment on this? The documentation is unclear.

Hi Jeff,

Case: 1:
If tracking on at receive port level and it is "Before Receive" then the
unparsed file [may be flat file, JPG or binary] will be saved on to disk
with the file name extension "out". You can use appropriate application to
open the file after changing the file extension.

Case: 2:
If tracking on at receive port level and it is "After Receive" then the
input message is already parsed by the pipeline and depending upon what
component you are using in the pipeline [e.g. if it is Passthrough then you
will get the same original message], the saved message will take that form.

Let me know if my explaination clarifies your doubt or not.

Thanks,
Sangram

Sangram,

Thanks for the response from MSFT. Does having an inbound map make any
difference to what is tracked?
