Hi,

I need to receive simple two files from two file system. for that i had dfined two receive steps.

As it asked for correlation, i have defined an extra field in both the structures called Fileid.

Now what value to be specified in both the incoming structures and how xi would co-relate.

Hi;

You can specify any value unique to both these files to that field(Say y or 1) and specify the corelation in the BPM on this field.

Hi Anandha Krishnan ,

We use a correlation to assign messages that belong together to the same process instance. A correlation joins messages that have the same value for one or more XML elements. A correlation is therefore a loose coupling of messages: at design time, it enables you to define which message a receive step must wait for, without knowing the message ID.

Correlating Objects :

A correlation enables you to identify objects that belong together, for example, a quotation and the relevant sales order. This involves correlating the objects by using one or more common elements, for example, the quotation number. When you define a Workflow, you can specify the object that the Workflow must wait for, without having to enter the ID of the object.

Hi Anand

U should create a correlation and give the field that correlate i.e uniquely identify the the two files received by two receive step and include the correlation in the active correlation attribute of the two receive steps properties.

go thru this blog for correlation
