Enabling Message-Route Tracking

You can use message-route tracking to track the path messages take on your MSMQ network. As the messages pass through an MSMQ routing server, a message is sent to the report queue, indicating which server the message passed through.

Enabling message-route tracking is a two step process. First, the administrator must enable message-route tracking by defining a report queue for the sending computer. Second, the application must set the correct message property. The application developer must set this property or enable some way for it to be set by the user (such as through the Windows registry), so that message-route tracking can be enabled for the application.

Because all test messages are sent with message-route tracking enabled, if the sending computer has a report queue, the message path is tracked.

For information on how to enable message-route tracking, see MSMQ Explorer Help. For information on how to set message properties, see the Microsoft Message Queue Server Software Development Kit (MSMQ SDK).
