I had a
situation where I were looking at using BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) from
WCF (Windows Communcation Foundation) and I couldn’t find out why I didn’t get
any data into my BAMPrimaryImport database. I didn’t get any errors so I was
really wondering where my error was.

I launched
the SQL Profiler to see if this could help me in my search for why I didn’t get
any data. When the WCF service is launched it calls a stored procedure:

exec
bam_Metadata_GetLatestInterceptorConfiguration @technologyName=N’WCF’,@manifest=N'<namespace>.<interface>, <Assemblyname>,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’

This stored
procedure returned zero rows, so that was why I didn’t get any data into my
tables in the BAMPrimaryImport database. I wasn’t sure why yet why this call
didn’t return any data. I looked at the SQL code for the stored procedure and
found that it queried the table “
[bam_Metadata_EventSource]”. In this table it had the information that I was asking for, but the
case of the <Assemblyname> in the manifest column where different than
what I saw were used in the calling of the stored procedure.

So what I
learned from this is to remember the correct spelling and casing in the IC file
map:
  <ic:EventSource Name=xxx Technology =WCF Manifest =<namespace>.<interface>, <assemblyname>,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
>
Something
that might be hard to find
