        Hi,

        I have been searching for some sort of what/why/when description of the context properties in the http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/system-properties namespace without result.

        It baffles my mind that I’m unable to find any useful description of what these context properties are used for. Is anyone able to direct me to a source of information regarding these context properties and their meaning?

        Any help is much appreciated.

          Some of these properties are documented here.

              Thanks for the link.

              I don’t think I’ve come across that particular page before, probably because I’ve been searching mainly for some of the Guid context properties. Mainly ReceiveInstanceId and WorkTransmitId, which unfortunately are not included in that documentation.

              I have a pipeline component used for some custom tracking that must only be executed once. By storing a Guid with my tracked data that uniquely identifies (indirectly) the contents of my message, I can assure that my tracking only executes once. In other words, I need to verify that ReceiveInstanceId is guaranteed to be the same across receive pipeline resumes and that there is one ReceiveInstanceId per message independent of the receive adapter. The same goes for WorkTransmitId on the send side.

              I’m not at all sure that these context properties can be used for that purpose, since I haven’t been able to find any documentation on them.

                  That should’ve been TransmitWorkID, not WorkTransmitId.
