Adding Split-Joins

Before you begin

Split-Joins require a .flow file which is created when you create a Split-Join using the AquaLogic Service Bus Plug-in for WorkSpace Studio or when you import a Split-Join configuration JAR into the plug-in. The .flow file might have references to proxy services, business services, or to external WSDL resources. Resources on which the Split-Join depends must be present on the server before activating the Split-Join.

  1. If you have not already done so, click Create to create a new session or click Edit to enter an existing session. See Using the Change Center.
  2. Select Project Explorer, then select a project or folder in which to add the Split-Join. The Project/Folder View page is displayed.
  3. From the Create Resource drop-down list, select Split-Join from under Interface to display the Create a New Split-Join Resource page.
  4. Specify the parameters shown in Table 9-2.
