You work as a Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 tester at Domain.com. You received instruction to test your BizTalk application.
You are currently testing an ongoing performance issue in a BizTalk application that was deployed to your Testing server environment. You need to get a historical view of the health of the system. Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 makes provision for several utilities. You thus need to make use of the appropriate tool to allow you to obtain a historical view of the health of the system.
What should you do?
A.
Use the Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) utility.
B.
Use the Tracking Profile Editor.
C.
Use the Orchestration Debugger utility.
D.
Use the BizTalk Administration Console Group Hub Page.
Explanation:
It is possible to view both historical data with respect to your BizTalk applications and artifacts as well as data you have set the system up to track specifically with Health and Activity Tracking (HAT). The HAT will provide you with the correct data to view the health of the system.Incorrect Answers:
B: The Tracking Profile Editor is used to link event sources to Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) activity definitions. It has no direct bearing on system health and will thus not yield the desired view.
C: The Orchestration Debugger utility is a special HAT view that allows a user to see message flow at each stage in an orchestration. It will not provide you with a historical view of the health of the system.
D: The BizTalk Administration Console’s Group Hub Page is used to provide a quick snapshot of system health and not a historical view.
