  967765 FIX: A Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) activity does not track the first message of a batch in BizTalk Server 2006 R2
  974563 List of Microsoft BizTalk Server hot fixes that are included in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Service Pack 1
• You create a BizTalk receive location that uses a custom receive pipeline. Additionally, the custom receive pipeline contains the Flat File disassembler pipeline component.
• You create and then deploy a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) activity.
• In Tracking Profile Editor (TPE), you create a tracking profile that is based on the BAM activity definition.
• You apply this tracking profile.

In this scenario, BAM tracking does not work for the messages that are received through this receive location. Therefore, when you open the BAM table in the BAMPrimaryImport database, you cannot find a tracking record entry. Additionally, you cannot find any corresponding information in the TDDS_FailedTrackingData table.

This problem occurs because of an issue with the Flat File disassembler.

The hotfix for this problem is included in cumulative update package 1 for BizTalk Server 2006 R2 Service Pack 1.
