Microsoft BizTalk server 2013 R2 trace configuration in pass the receive parameters to sender port in restful web services call

Question

I have restful web Api that published into IIS and work properly.

Then I published my BizTalk orchestration successfully.

This is Hello World sample template in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 R2\SDK\Samples\Orchestrations\HelloWorld

My schema in receive port is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?> 
<xs:schema xmlns="http://BizTalk_call_wsdn4_wsdn2.Schema2" xmlns:b="http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003" targetNamespace="http://BizTalk_call_wsdn4_wsdn2.Schema2" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xs:element name="Product">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:string" /> 
            <xs:attribute name="price" type="xs:string" /> 
            <xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string" /> 
            <xs:attribute name="sync" type="xs:string" /> 
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

This is my visual studio orchestration architecture template that I used so you can find it in hello world sample

Then this map in administration console pass the parameters to next step:

This schema in administration console:

These two screen shots show you that I configured my send and receive ports for calling web HTTP restful

My question is about how can I trace step by step to debug my plan?

My send and receive ports in my project before publish :

How can I connect to configured project in BizTalk that those configuration after publish? How to trace? How to debug and run step by step?

Google show up in results articles that doesn't have any similarity to trace c# apps.

Are you asking in general or do you have a specific problem? — Johns-305

Well, we don't 'trace' in BizTalk the same way we would trace in a plan .Net app. You can absolutely use .Net Tracing, but...it's just a different paradigm.

You have to know your message flow and follow through the process. Most of the time, this is in BizTalk Administrator through Tracking. There's also the Orchestration Debugger, also in BT Admin, where you can see the Orchestrations actual flow.

Basically, this is an very broad question, but that's ok. It hard to answer in general. I think it would be better to try a few things, then ask about specific situations.
