In my quest to optimize the resources being used in my laptop, I have been very picky about what services are needed to get my task done. I have a script to turn on/off all of the services that I need. Today I try debugging an orchestration, and I was not getting any information at all on the Health and Activity Tracking (HAT). As it turn out, I had not started this service: BizTalk Server Application Service.
All of my Orchestrations were working fine without this service. Hummm... I know now if I need to run the HAT, then I can turn this feature on/off. And the best thing, is that it when you start up this service, it will pickup all of the instances that have been ran. NICE... ;)
FYI, the service name is BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication. I have set its startup type to be manual, and then I have this batch script to turn it on/off:
net start BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication
net stop BTSSvc$BizTalkServerApplication
BTW, don't forget to add your login account to the Biztalk Server Administrators group, or you won't be able to attach to the Orchestration in Debugging mode.

This is one very good reason why you want to create a separate Tracking host (a host that has Tracking enabled, but does nothing else - disable tracking from all other hosts). If you need to disable any other hosts, you don't want tracking information to collect in your message box. You can always leave the tracking host on, even during deployments, etc.
This is an excellent suggestion.! Thanks for the feedback. :D
