Reuters.extractionsContext.Extract(extractionRequest) is synchronous. It returns when the extraction is completed. However, if the exception happens during this call, it will not return. However, the extraction may still be processed on the server and the application is unable to cancel or track down the status of the extraction. The things which the application can do are:

• Query all active jobs on the server to find the requested monitor URL. Then use this URL to cancel and continue tracking its status
• Or, send another extraction request to the server. However, this can create an additional workload on the server

To avoid this, I suggest to use a Reuters.extractionsContext.ExtractStart(extractionRequest) method instead. The "Start" method returns an IAsyncJob which in turn can be used to track the progress or cancel the extraction. Therefore, when the problem happens, the application can decide to cancel the job or keep monitoring its status.

For more information, please refer to Key Mechanisms in the Async -> Jobs section.
