Figure 10: BAM data can be generated by orchestrations and other .NET applications, then used in a
variety of ways.
The first of these two aspects, an infrastructure for collecting information about running processes, is
provided by BizTalk Server 2006 R2. As Figure 12 shows, BizTalk orchestrations can directly generate
BAM data, all of which is sent into a BAM database. Using a tool called the Tracking Profile Editor, a
developer can configure an orchestration to send the desired information to this database. Via a
BizTalk-provided BAM API, this infrastructure can also be used with any application built on the .NET
Framework. Along with this general API, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 provides BAM interceptors designed
specifically for applications created using WCF and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF).

However it gets to the BAM database, this data is stored in tables and cubes. This information is then
accessible via a set of BAM Web services, as shown in Figure 12, and different clients are free to do
different things with this information. An Excel user, for instance, might read it into a pivot table, then
create a graphical view of the aspects of this process that she wishes to see. (BizTalk Server 2006 R2
provides an Excel add-in to make this easier to do.) This view can be updated as often as necessary,
allowing real-time monitoring of the business process.

Other tools can display the data in other ways. Office PerformancePoint Server 2007, for example,
might display BAM data generated by one or more business processes as part of a dashboard. The
