2.1 Correlation Wizard - Define Correlation Set Page

Use to define the activities and properties to use in a correlation set.

Correlation sets address complex message delivery situations by providing a declarative mechanism to specify correlated groups of operations within a service instance. A set of correlation tokens is defined as a set of properties shared by all messages in the correlated group. A property definition creates a globally unique name and associates it with an XML schema instance. The property name must have global significance in correlations.

For more information about properties and correlation sets, see the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Specification at http://www.oasis-open.org.
