Property Alias Dialog

2.25 Property Alias Dialog

Use to create a property alias.

Property aliases enable you to map a global property to a field in a specific message part. This enables the property name to become an alias for the message part and location. The alias can be used in XPath expressions.

Property aliases are used with correlation sets. 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. Properties in business protocols are typically included in application-visible message data.

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