Correlation Sets and Engine-Managed Correlation

To correlate inbound messages, you have two choices. You can:

Create and use correlation sets or you can allow the Process Developer engine to automatically manage message correlation.

Direct the Process Developer engine to automatically correlate inbound messages targeted for a receive, onMessage, or onEvent by adding a policy to the My Role partner link in the Process Deployment Descriptor file.
