FIX: Non-XML messages are suspended at a send port that uses the PassThruTransmit pipeline if a BAM tracking profile is applied in BizTalk Server 2010

Article ID: 2486267 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

On a computer that is running Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010, you create a send port that uses the PassThruTransmit pipeline.
You create and then deploy a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) activity.
You create a tracking profile that is based on the BAM activity definition, and then you apply this tracking profile.
A non-XML message arrives at the send port.

Note To do this, you can create a receive location that uses the PassThruReceive pipeline, and then you can send a non-XML message to the receive location.

In this scenario, the message is suspended on the send port. Additionally, an event that resembles one of the following is logged.

Note The event details may vary, based on different scenarios.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the BizTalk tracking engine examines the message body for XML content when BAM tracking is enabled. This occurs even when the PassThruTransmit pipeline is used.

WORKAROUND

In some scenarios, you may be able to work around this problem. To do this, do one of the following:

Remove the BAM tracking profile. When you do this, you receive no new BAM tracking data.
