Hi, I am pulling out my hair. for a day and 1/2 i have messed with this and still cannot get it to work.

I am using sql2012

following this article http://devkimchi.com/811/service-broker-external-activator-for-sql-server-step-by-step-1/

I have a Active Directory User call WWProgramming\ExternalActivator

Installed External Activator package.

My External application is not running, i should get an entry in the eventlog stating we made it to main()

Please some help would be great.

To Test this i tried to push a message with the following script.

USE [Test]
GO

--DECLARE @data AS XML;

--SET @data = (SELECT 'Hello' FOR XML PATH(''), ROOT('Changes'), ELEMENTS);

DECLARE @data XML

SELECT @data;

DECLARE @handle AS UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;

BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @handle
 FROM SERVICE [TrackingInitiatorService]
   TO SERVICE 'TrackingTargetService'
   ON CONTRACT [TrackingContract]
 WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;

 SEND ON CONVERSATION @handle
