INTRODUCTION
You can use tracing in Microsoft BizTalk Server Accelerator for Financial Services 1.0 Service Release 1 (SR1) to configure and to view the messages that are submitted to the SWIFT network and from the SWIFT network. The BizTalk Server Accelerator for Financial Services 1.0 SR1 Adapter Feature Pack enables logging of information about the SWCall SWIFT API calls and the SWCallback SWIFT API calls.

Every log includes context information and the actual message that was passed. Context information includes the SWIFT API name, the time that the SWIFT API call was logged, and the function signature in the component where the SWIFT API call was made.

MORE INFORMATION
Installing the Adapter Feature Pack alone will not enable tracing because the installation process does not create the required configuration name-value pairs. For a list of the required configuration parameters, see the “Tracing configuration” section.

To enable tracing, write a custom trace listener that implements the interface as defined in the &quot;Tracing implementation notes&quot; section. The accelerator components call this custom trace listener so that the context information and the SWIFT message can be logged.

Tracing configuration

 * 1) In BizTalk Messaging Manager, double-click the BizTalk channel that is bound to the BizTalk port that uses the SWIFTNetLink Adapter (SNLA) AIC as a transport. The Channel Properties wizard appears.

Note This article discusses the SNL AIC and the SNLA AIC. However, these are two names for the same component. The Component Services snap-in refers to this component as the SNL AIC. The BizTalk Messaging Manager refers to this component as the SNLA AIC.


 * 1) In the Channel Properties wizard, click Next until the Advanced Configuration dialog box appears.
 * 2) In the Advanced Configuration dialog box, click Advanced. The Override Messaging Port Defaults dialog box appears.
 * 3) In the Override Messaging Port Defaults dialog box, click Properties. The SNLA SnlGlobalConfigAIC Properties dialog box appears.
 * 4) In the SNLA SnlGlobalConfigAIC Properties dialog box, you must configure the following fields under Custom Fields:
 * 5) * TraceToggle - Set this value to On or to Off.
 * 6) * RefreshInterval - Set this value between 1 and 86400. This value contains the interval time in seconds that the configuration information will be refreshed. Any value outside less than 1 or greater than 86400 disables tracing. If this behavior occurs, you must restart the components.
 * 7) * AssemblyName - Set this value to the fully qualified strong assembly name of the trace listener that you want to use. This value includes the version, the culture, and the publickeytoken information. You must install this assembly in the global assembly cache.

Tracing implementation notes
The following list contains important notes about tracing:  A trace listener must reference the Microsoft.Solutions.FinancialServices.Tools.TraceInterface.dll file. The Microsoft.Solutions.FinancialServices.Tools.TraceInterface.dll file is installed as part of the Adapter Feature Pack.</li>  The listener must implement the following interface: namespace Microsoft.Solutions.FinancialServices.Tool {   public interface TraceInterface {       void RaiseEvent(string msg, string ctx) } } In this interface, msg contains the SWIFT message or the response, and ctx contains the context information of the message, such as the date, the time, and the SWIFT API call. </li> To trace messages, you must install the custom trace listener in the global assembly cache.</li> If tracing is set to Off when the receiver and the SNL AIC components are started for the first time, you must restart the receiver and the SNL AIC package to enable tracing again.</li> If null values are entered for TraceToggle or AssemblyName, tracing is disabled.</li> If TraceToggle is set to any value other than On or Off, tracing is disabled.</li> If TraceToggle is set to On, and a strongly named assembly is not provided or an inaccurate assembly name is provided, tracing is disabled.</li> <li>If the custom trace listener is not installed in the global assembly cache, or if the custom trace listener does not load successfully, tracing is disabled.</li></ul>
