FIX: Failed messages are routed incorrectly by a send port that has BAM tracking enabled in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or in BizTalk Server 2009

Consider the following scenario:

• In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2 or in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009, you create a receive port and then you enable the�Enable routing for failed messages property on the receive port.
• You create a receive location for the receive port that uses the XMLReceive receive pipeline to receive incoming messages.
• You create a send port that acts as a subscriber for failed messages.
  
  Note For detailed instructions about how to do this, refer to the "How to track failed messages in BAM" in the �More Information� section.
  
• You create and deploy a Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) activity to track the failed messages.
• In Tracking Profile Editor (TPE), you create a tracking profile for the activity and associate the activity with the send port. Then, you apply the tracking profile.
• The BizTalk server receives an ill-formatted XML message. For example, BizTalk server receives a message as follows:

  <Items>
  <Item>
  Bad message
  </Item>
  </Itemse>

In this scenario, the message is routed incorrectly by the send port. An event error message that resembles the following is logged in the Application log. Notes:

• This issue occurs even if the send port uses the PassThruTransmit send pipeline.
• This issue does not occur if BAM tracking is disabled on the send port.
• If you use BizTalk Server 2009, the Event Source and Event Category in above events are �BizTalk Server 2009�.
