When creating the samples for this chapter, I faced various issues. The run history was not giving me enough information; I needed to look somewhere for more logs. This will be the case when we work on real-world scenarios.

In the BizTalk server, EDI provides built-in reports on AS2/EDI transactions that are processed, as well as some analytics on those transactions. Any EDI engine should have the capability to provide analytics for their users.

Such needs are common in the EDI world, and so the Logic Apps team introduced the Logic Apps B2B Solution, which allows users to monitor and manage B2B logic flows involving the AS2, X12, and EDIFACT protocols. This solution lets users view and react to message exchanges with trading partners and identify the root causes.

The following are some of the core capabilities of the Logic Apps B2B Solution:

• See all transaction processing by status at a glance
• Use trading partner-specific views to find out which trading partner message exchanges are having issues
• View by protocols such as AS2, EDIFACT, and X12 to easily find where problems are occurring
• Use message-centric views to understand the processing flow of your Logic Apps, including key tracking data items to react quickly to problems
• Search through all tracking data and find any piece of information

The Logic Apps B2B Solution works with integration accounts. I took the following steps to enable this in the ShipAnyWhere_SupplyChain integration account.
