How do I learn more if an error occurs with BizTalk Server or if BizTalk Server fails in the process of sending a message?

If an error or failure occurs in BizTalk Server, there are three places 
that you can look for more details.
• BizTalk Server Suspended Queue. BizTalk Server will send any message 
that cannot be processed to the Suspended Queue. You can view the 
contents of the Suspended Queue using the BizTalk Server administration 
console.
• Windows 2000 Application Event Log. BizTalk Server uses the native 
Windows 2000 Application Event Log as its primary reporting mechanism. 
• BizTalk Server Document Tracking Query Tool The BizTalk Server 
Document Tracking Query Tool, available at 
http://localhost/biztalkdata/ on the computer running Biz Talk Server, 
is useful in viewing the document tracking and activity logs in BizTalk 
Server. 
Note: For the BizTalk Server Technology Preview release only, it is 
required that certain Microsoft Office components be installed on the 
machine from which you are browsing for the Document Tracking Query 
Tool to function. If you do not have the Office suite installed, you 
will not be able to use this feature. To enhance the logging 
information collected and presented (with more details and more 
events), you can open the pipeline and click the Storage and Logging 
icon. Once there, you will be able to designate the degree and 
granularity of logging actions.
