SYMPTOMS
BizTalk Server does not track the document type of an input document when the input document is in a plain text format.



CAUSE
The BizTalk Server tracking database only records the input document's document type when it is in an XML format.



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.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
