In this post I want to demonstrate how to use BAM to investigate potential slow nodes and processing in your orchestration. I have created a sample orchestration which has one transformation and one correlation blocks. So I want to check the durations of: 1. Whole orchestration 2. Transformation 3. Correlation Let's activate BAM plugin in MS Office 2007 Now I will create a view, which then will be associated with orchestration Note that while creating view and activity I will not need BizTalk Server or a connection at all. 1. From Add-ins menu open BAM/BAM Activity 2. Click New Activity 3. Type BAMSample in Activity Name 4. Click New Item 5. Name it Orchestration Start , set item type to Business Milestone 6. Add Item Orchestration End 7. Add Item Transformation Start 8. Add Item Transformation End 9. Add Item Correlation Start 10. Add Item Correlation End 11 Click OK 12. Click Ok Now view will be created 13. Click Next to start wizard 14. Select Create new view 15. C
