PRB: You Can Not See the Incoming Document in the Document Tracking Tool When It Processes a Flat File (320163)

RESOLUTION

You can use either of the two following methods to work around this behavior; make your choice based on which outcome more closely resembles what you want to achieve.

Method 1: Dynamic

If you create a property called Doc_Type on the Dictionary tab in the BizTalk Editor for the source schema in the channel, and you indicate which field in the source document will contain the value for this property (by selecting the checkbox next to the new property), the value in that field is sent to tracking at run time and it is reflected on the inbound tracking record. The associated outbound tracking record continues to use the name of the root node in the schema for the target document.

Method 2: Static

If you set the Document Type property on the Reference tab when the root node has focus to any value, such as HappyDocType, you see that value in tracking. You need to enter a value for this property for each of the schemas in a channel (both input and output), otherwise, the root node name is used again when the tracking record is written for the outbound document.
