Hi Friends,

I like to know at what context we need to use <b>correlation</b> in BPM. Kindly give some example for correlation.

Hi,

<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.

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

Eg Scenario..

U have two outbound messages to BPM

ABS1 has

Name

Age

Sex

ABS2 has

Name

Desg

Comp

Now u can correlate between these two messages using the common value name.

Hi karthik

Correlation is one that is used to make some relation between objects.

say if in bpm u r collecting some idocs and after colecting some idocs u bunch them and send it to receiver then u need to define a corelation variable which will collect the idocs on the basis of this corelation variable .
