I currently have a receive pipeline to parse a flat file.
There is the possibility that this parsing may fail (as
the user may have made a mistake in the format of the
flatfile).

Right now it writes an error to the event log which is
fine but I want to be able to catch this exception in the
orchestration and handle it accordingly (eg: send an email
to the user).

Does anyone know how to catch an  exception in a receive
pipeline within the orchestration?

thanks

Jayee:

I've done something similar in the Send direction, but not as part of a
Receive. However, the same technique should work.

I would try putting the Receive inside a Scope, and then add an Exception
handler (right click the Scope to do this). At a quick glance, I don't see
any pipeline-specific exceptions, so use General exception. Alternatively,
you may be able to make the Scope transaction atomic and have a compensation
flow.

how would you retrieve error information from the 'General Exception' except
ion object type to reuse in a notification email?
