Debugging and viewing Logs in Orchestration

| Hello,
I have some basic queries and would appreciate if any of these are answered:
1. Where do I find the event logs? I mean to debug my orchestration I am seeing the HAT, but I understand that I should be seeing the Event logs as well. Appreciate if I am pointed out to the actual location where the event logs exists. Also let me know w
here would the other types of logs be present.(For debug purpose).
2. I have an orchestration that send a mail.It uses the SMTP Adapter. While the Orchestration indicates that everything is fine, the mail is NOT actually sent. Where should I debug?Which logs / files etc should I look into and study?
3. How do I debug my Orchestration at RUN -TIME? The option of "Orchestration Debugger" is fine but it does not indicate me the values at runtime, or can it?Appreciate if I am told if we have a better way of debugging an Orchestration.
All help appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
rnsdas

Most of BizTalk errors is sent to the application event log. To view it, click Start->Run... and enter eventvwr.msc then press enter.
You should look at the Application event log. There is also a trace capability, but this is more complex and should be used for heavier problems.

Again, 99.99% of the time, errors (or warnings) will be in the application log. Really, the event log is the first place where you should go.

Debugging an orchestration at runtime is done by using HAT. You can find all details on:

Look at the links on the previous page: many good ways to debug an orchestration are explained.
Thanks.
