https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unexpected-Exception-Recovery-Behaviour/m-p/61494#M14784 Thanks Raj, I've tried it too and get the same effect. I'm going to raise it as a bug because the infinite loop should not happen, the exception should be caught by Recover2.

Please reply, Thanks Thu, 19 Apr 2018 17:41:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unexpected-Exception-Recovery-Behaviour/m-p/61491#M14781 RajdeepMondal1 2018-04-19T17:41:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unexpected-Exception-Recovery-Behaviour/m-p/61492#M14782 Make sure you have the 'preserve' checkbox in Exception1 ticked. Without it you are creating a second exception and it could be this that is creating the problem.

I am wondering why isn't the process getting terminated or passing onto 'Recover2' stage, why go back to 'Recover1' stage(which is outside the block)?  Thanks.

By adding a resume stage, infinite loop can be prevented.

To see  difference place the Recover1 stage and calculating stage inside the block and run.

Blueprism doesnot permit nested recovery of exception  inside  recovery mode .if an exception occurs inside recovery mode it just throws exception message on the page ie. As exception1 stage is throwing exception inside recovery mode so it cannot be recovered by Recover2 stage and throws exception on to the page eventually it is getting caught by Recover1 which is global to the page and infite loop occurs.  Mon, 07 May 2018 15:41:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Unexpected-Exception-Recovery-Behaviour/m-p/61498#M14788 Srikanth_ReddyK 2018-05-07T15:41:00Z
