Hi Honey,

Go thru this blog to understand about correlations.

<b>Correlation</b>

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.

<b>Correlating Objects:</b>

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.

Suppose ur scenario involves many HTTP senders. The xml messaged from different vendors using different HTTP clients are collected in XI. The messages with vendor_status flag = 1 should only fetch the data from RFC receiver.

Here correlation would be using the vendor_status field. The scenario would be sync HTTP <-> RFC using BPM.
