When does BAM track if running from a tracking profile

Question

If using a tracking profile, built using the TPE - when does the message get tracked?

I had thought it would always track before maps are applied on receive ports and track after maps are applied on send ports, but this seems not to be the case. I can't find documentation of this on MSDN.

I am using BizTalk 2013r1

The tracking apparently happens in the Pipelines, so it should be as you describe, However there was a bug at one point that if you used a Pass-Thru pipeline that tracking would not work. Are you on Cumulative Update 3? Can you describe in your question what the behavior/issues you are getting? — Dijkgraaf, Mar 15 '16 at 23:50
What tracking are you seeing? Are you using any custom pipelines? Are you using any pass thru pipelines? — Dan Field, Mar 16 '16 at 14:23

After some more investigation and testing I found the following:

The tracking profile is always applied at the end of the pipeline
Maps applied directly to ports, in the conventional way are applied:
- at the end of a receive pipeline
- at the beginning of a send pipeline
Standard Receive: adapter --> disassemble etc-->track-->map-->msgbox
Standard Send: msgbox --> map --> assemble etc-->track --> adapter

In my case the tracking was happening after a received message had been mapped but this was because the particular receive location was using a customer pipeline component to execute the map, rather than relying on the "standard" method of assigning a map to use in the bindings.

Hope this helps somebody with the same problem in future
