When a dehydrated orchestration resumes, does it always go back to the serve
r
it was running on originally, or can it start running again on any server?

We have traces in our orchestrations that write to the local machine, and
I'm wondering if the trace files will be split on two machines if we have tw
o
servers in our Biztalk Group?

My guess is that it would be picked up by any machine, but might be worth to
get a confirmation.

Yes - it can be picked up by any server running that host.

Hi,

Yes, the orchestration can rehydrate on any BizTalk server in the group on
which the BizTalk host that hosts the orchestration is running on. (This is
great id a BizTalk server dies, but not for your tracing example).

One option may be to create a TracingHost, and create an instance of that
host on only one server. You can then assign the orchestrations you wish to
trace to that host (You could use the BizTalk host for this also, but this
would affect other orchestrations running in the host).

Regards,

Alan

Definitely the re-hydrated orchestration will be picked by any machine in
the group hosting that orchestration.

To confirm listen to Scotts, Architecture webcast.

We use debugview to watch orchestrations in realtime, in a multimachine
environment, and I'm afraid you do have to watch all of the boxes in the
group. It can become quite confusing.

You might consider using a tracing facility that allows you to have a
"server consolidated" view of your realtime tracing.

One example of this is to use the log4net API, in conjunction with a Paul
Bunyan appender or perhaps the log4net remoting forwarder.
I've found this to be invaluable for doing this kind of diagnostic work...

See
