Correlation used to assign messages that belong together to the same process instance.

It joins messages that have the same valuefor one or more XML Elements.

if u want to use the corelation in BPM on a particular filed then u have to do the following steps.

in the corelation editor

in the first column give any name to the corelation of type string

in second column select the message interface for both the files u r getting and

in the third column select the filed on which u want to set the corelation.

U can go through the links below for moree details

Hi,

You 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.

For example, in a process, receivestep_1receives the message purchaseorder, while receivestep_2receives the message salesorder. Receivestep_1creates a correlation that defines that the corresponding sales order must have the same purchase order number. Receivestep_2uses this correlation. This means that an instance of the process processes a purchase order and the corresponding sales order, which has the same purchase order number.

Hi,

Correlation is the degree to which the results of two bets are related. Zero correlation means the results are not related at all.
