A global Reply is generated automatically whenever you create a new Split-Join. The purpose of the global Reply is to send a response back to the invoking ALSB message flow. However, you may also create a local Reply to an Error Handler. Configuring the Reply can include the following tasks:

The operation is based upon the initial WSDL selection for the overall Split-Join. It is displayed in the Properties view for reference.
The Reply can either send a Response or a Fault back to the client depending on how you configure the variable. The Fault options available vary depending upon whether the Reply is global or local.
Note: | Switching back and forth between the Response and Fault buttons will clear either configuration. For instance, if you have previously selected "Propagate SOAP Fault" for Fault configuration and you then switch to the "Response" configuration, "Propagate SOAP Fault" will be deselected. |
Given the available options as outlined above, select either a Response or a Fault for your Reply Variable.
If you select Response, you must define the Message Variable the Response will be assigned to. This can be done in two ways:
To create a new Message Variable, select Create Message Variable from the Message Variable menu. The Create Message Variable Dialog appears:
Note that Message Type Namespace and Message Type are displayed automatically in the Properties view once the variable is defined.
If you select Fault, you must specify either a WSDL Fault or propagate a SOAP Fault.
Note: | In some circumstances, no Faults or only a SOAP Fault will be available. See previous notes. |
If you select a WSDL Fault, you must specify the Fault by name and define the Message Variable that it will be assigned to.
To create a new Message Variable, select "Create Message Variable" from the Message Variable menu. The Create Message Variable Dialog opens:
Note that Message Type Namespace and Message Type are displayed automatically on the properties page once a variable is defined.
If you select Propagate SOAP Fault, the SOAP Fault specified in the parent Error Handler will automatically be propagated in the Reply. There is nothing else to be configured
