To build a solid BizTalk solution, deploy a robust environment, and keep it running smoothly you sometimes need to broaden your spectrum, explore all possibilities, and choose the best solution for your purpose. By following the recipes in this book you will gain required knowledge and succeed in your implementation. With BizTalk Server 2010 Cookbook, you can leverage and hone your skills. More than 50 recipes will guide you in implementing BizTalk solutions, setting up a robust and well performing BizTalk environment, and choosing the right solution for monitoring it. As a developer or administrator you greatly benefit from taking these recipes to work. In this book a developer and administrator will see how to deploy, build, and maintain a BizTalk environment. How to apply patterns for robust orchestrations, messaging and testing.

Implementing error handling in an orchestration


With developing an orchestration, you will have to bear in mind that errors can occur. Within an orchestration, you can implement error handling through usage of the Scope shape. The Scope shape allows you to use transactions and for exception handlers similar to try/catch block in .NET. The exception handlers allow you to specify different kinds of exceptions. You can resolve errors within the orchestration like with the try/catch mechanism. There are situations when errors can occur in an orchestration when messages cannot be sent or transformation goes wrong. With the exception handler shape, you act upon the error and write some custom code for logging purposes such as writing to the Microsoft Event Log and sending an alert to an administrator.

Getting ready

Open visual studio and create a solution. For reference, you can download the source code for error handling (BTS.Cookbook.Orchestration.ErrorHandling) belonging to this recipe.
