This activity enables you to process multiple sets of activities sequentially or in parallel. The forEach activity executes its contained (child) scope activity exactly N+1 times, where N equals the final counter value minus the starting counter value that you specify in the Counter Values tab of the For Each dialog. While other structured activities such as a flow activity can have any type of activity as its contained activity, the forEach activity can only use a scope activity.

Figure A-19 shows a forEach activity with its contained scope.

For more information about the forEach activity, see Processing Multiple Sets of Activities with the forEach Activity in BPEL 2.0.
