Message tracking

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,

I'm working on a viewer for tracked messages, and came up against a
few challenges. The proces is fairly straighforward: flat file comes
in, goes through flat file disassembler, resulting xml then goes
through an orchestration where a map is applied, and the resulting XMl
is assembled back into the new flat file format.

1. What would be the easiest way to associate the different message
instances within a single message flow with each other? Ie a single
query to get all message instances within a flow? I tried applying a
"MessageFlowId" (kinda like the inaccessible InterchangeId), but the
main problem is that no fields get stored for the incoming flat file
messages, as field promotion hasn't taken place before pipeline
processing.

2. What would be the best way to ensure only flat file representations
(or only XML representations) of the message are found?

Info about the tracking database is sketchy, and querying it is even
more something of a dark art it seems... So while I've been trying to
get the hang of it for quite some time now, still any information on
the tracking database is welcome!
Thanks,

Zeus
