What Are the BAM WCF and WF Interceptors

Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) is a collection of tools, APIs, and services that allow you to manage aggregations, alerts, and profiles, and to instrument automated processes to send events to monitor relevant business metrics. Together, these provide end-to-end visibility into business processes and enable you to stay abreast of business process status and results.


BAM interceptors extend this same functionality into Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and other runtime environments. By using a BAM interceptor, you can track your business processes without recompiling your WF or WCF solution—integration is done through a configuration file.

By using the BAM WF or WCF interceptor in your project, you can:
  • Use the BAM portal to view information about the business processes running in your WF or WCF application.
  • Use BAM functionality without adding additional code to your application.
  • Deploy your solution using familiar BizTalk Server tools and utilities.
  • Leverage your existing BizTalk Server environment for existing and new WF and WCF applications.
