BAM Interceptor Error Messages

When using the WF or WCF BAM interceptors, you may experience issues ranging from an invalid interceptor configuration file to runtime issues extracting context properties or trying to track events from the reply of a one-way WCF operation.

The following table contains a list of each of the possible BAM interceptor errors you may encounter while deploying your solution with bm.exe or while your BAM-interceptor-enabled application is running. Each error includes the cause and one or more potential resolutions.

Event log ID	Error message	Cause	Resolution
1001	The BAM Interceptor detected the following error : In host process '{0}', interceptor configuration for technology '{1}' manifest '{2}' contains schema validation error at ({3}, {4}) : {5}.	The interceptor configuration file does not validate against the common interceptor configuration schema or the technology-specific (Windows Workflow Foundation or Windows Communication Framework) schema.	Find the location mentioned by the error in the interceptor configuration file and modify it to agree with the schema.
1002	The BAM Interceptor detected the following error : In host process '{0}', unable to parse application configuration parameter '{1}' with value '{2}'.	The application configuration contains a setting that cannot be parsed into the correct type.	Fix the setting in the application configuration.
1003	The BAM Interceptor detected the following error : In host process '{0}', the interceptor configuration for EventSource '{1}' has OnEvent '{2}' that contains invalid data operation '{3}'.	Internal error.	Verify the types of operations you are using in the interceptor configuration file.
