How to get current suspended message ID from context

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to get the Suspended Message Id from my orchestration.
I don't want to get the this inside the orchestration, because that I already know how to do it.
I've search inside this forum and get a solution, but actually does not work. 
Using this: Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Service.RootService.InstanceId  
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/95d2c9d9-5cbe-4bca-9cef-da7aba984d3c/how-do-i-access-instance-id-of-a-message-from-orchestration?forum=biztalkgeneral)
Also, I have searched in "all" properties of Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Service.RootService and didn't had any luck
My goal?
I have a service that logs, to SQL, all errors in my biztalk applications. Right now is not saving the message id, and I do need.  (I can easily change the method to receive the message id, but I'm trying to avoid that because I have 30 applications
using the same method/application).
Also, I have another service that is listening to all suspended messages.. In here I have the message Id (and other data) using WMI... 
Now, I need to correlate both info..
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My answers inline.
I already understood the logic that you said and I'm working on it. However, if you have more good inputs to give, please do! 
Thanks
Hi Ricardo,
Let us be clear with your requirement.
“I
have another service that is listening to all suspended messages.. In here I have the message Id (and other data) using WMI... ” 
- What this “service” is? Is this some service external to BizTalk from where you want to access the detail of the suspended message? If so then you go to use some way similar to my earlier reply. When you want to access the suspended message details,
you got to access it from management db. The code which I have given in my earlier reply would do that. No other option in this case.
Yes, I am already doing that. I'm using a Windows service that is listening for all suspended messages in BizTalk. In this
windows service I can access to everything that I want (message Id; service type id; instance id; and many other properties...). My issue is not in here.
“Actually
when i call Microsoft.XLANGs.Core.Service.RootService.InstanceId I'm getting the property SendingOrchestrationID.” 
- Are you try to access the message Instance ID from another child orchestration?
SendingOrchestrationID is the orchestration instance
ID where the message originated and you would get it when another orchestration (subprocess) which has been triggered by another orchestration (parent orch whose ID is
SendingOrchestrationID). Detail us about where and how
to you get this SendingOrchestrationID.
Because when you want to access “Suspended” Orchestration’s message instance ID, you can’t achieve it by calling it from sub-processes.
I'm using a external (custom) class library. 
I have a custom log which tracks everything that goes in our BizTalk applications. When errors / warning I write that to a database table.
This is made in different times, so when I log the error to the database I need "something" that exists in my other service (MEssageID; service type
id; instance id; or other 'unique' property). Also, I don't want to change the log method, because (if I do that, I would need to change 30 applications).
That's why I'm looking for a 'global' property that I can use, without changing (a lot) my code.
When an Orchestration is suspended, it will be marked as “Suspended” in db and to get the messages associated with it, access the suspended Orchestration instance
ID from the db and use this ID from db to get its related contents/messages IDs.
