Exception Handling

Exception handling using Integration of Info Path and Share Point services with BizTalk

1. Introduction

Ev ery application requires certain level of exception handling around it to ensure robustness and reliability from the application at high volume processing or at interrupted external services. Solutions often require revisit at their designs due to uncaught flaws in them and rectification activity whether involving re-deployment or re-design could be complicated while they are running on large servers that perform round the clock processing. Codes often break due to unexpected data coming in or invalid data format pushed into to the process. Good focus on the exception handling can prevent BizTalk applications from failing when these exceptions occur and route the orchestrations without suspending or dehydrating and usually, designs with such tight exception handling are considered to be reliable enough to support uninterrupted processing on the production servers. Our intention here is to project what is needed one step ahead of good exception handling around a BizTalk solution. This article focuses on „What can be done‟ to the invalid data that caused an unexpected activity in BizTalk application. BizTalk handled it right!!!.... „What happens to the broken data in the production system?‟; „How do you handle and reprocess this data with minimum interaction with production servers?

2. The Focus

This article focuses on those operations that can be performed w ith ease to re-process broken messages with-in production servers without providing permissions to anyone in-person to manipulate data on the production servers. I nstead of reaching the broken data directly on such servers, which is a security concern and high-risk activity, utilization of very reliable and easy to use software‟s, Info Path and Share Point Server can do the job very effectively.

3. Why Info Path?

Info Path is a part of Microsoft Office package and delivers excellent tools...
