Validate Mail account used by BizTalk to send BAM Alerts
After you configure with success BizTalk Server 2013 R2 BAM Alerts, the configurator will create a new Database Mail Account called “BAM_Alerts_Account” that will be used by BizTalk to send BAM Alerts.
To Validate Mail account used by BizTalk to send BAM Alerts:
- Press the “Windows key” to switch to the Start screen, type “SQL Management” or “SQL” and click on “SQL Server Management Studio” option from the Search menu.
- In Object Explorer panel, connect to the SQL Server instance you want to configure Database Mail on. And then expand the server tree.
- Expand the “Management” node and double click “Database Mail” to open the Database Mail Configuration Wizard.
- On the Welcome to Database Mail Configuration Wizard page, click “Next” to continue
- On the Select Configuration Task page, select “Manage Database Mail accounts and profiles” option and click “Next”
- On the Manage Profiles and Accounts page, select “View, change or delete an existent account” option, and click “Next”
- On the Manage Existent Account page, select “BAM_Alerts_Account” option under “Account name” and validate the configuration. After that click “Next” to make any change or “Cancel” to exit.
- On the Complete the Wizard page, click “Finish”.
Finally, you should test sending an email with this Database Mail Account, to do that:
- Right-click on Database Mail and select “Send Test E-Mail…”
- On the Send Test E-mail from windows, specify a “To:” email and click “Send Test E-Mail”
If all goes well you should receive the email in a few seconds. If you have received the email, you have been able to configure Database Mail successfully.

It would be good to know how what are the “configuration pieces” are responsible for picking the BAM message based on the alert definition, and routing that message to the Database Mail, so that it could be sent out as email delivery.
The issue I am having is, I mistakenly deleted the profile created by the Configuration, and thus don’t see any BAM alert emails flowing out.
Yet I can receive the test emails sent thru Database Mail/Send Test Email opton. Also, in the BAM portal, the BAM alerts filter query correctly identifies the BAM messages, that should have been picked for alerts.
Wondering what changes need to be done to synchronize my Database Mail setup with BizTalk BAM, without bringing down the entire BAM setup including the BAM Portal configuration, done thru BizTalk Configuration.
