FIX: Activity model observers cannot retrieve activity flow information unless they are participating in the activity flow in BizTalk Server 2004

View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, activity model observers cannot retrieve activity flow information by calling the HwsService.GetAllActivityFlowsForUser method unless they are participating in the activity flow. This behavior contradicts the following description in the BizTalk Server 2004 documentation about "Observer":

Users that are members of this role are authorized to view the state of any instance of this activity model during runtime, regardless of whether they are a participant in the activity model.
