Sequential and Parallel Execution

Routing rules can be executed sequentially or in parallel. This section describes the basic principles of both types of execution. If an operation or event has both sequential and parallel routing rules, first sequential routing rules are evaluated and actions are performed, and then parallel routings are queued for parallel execution.

Note:

If a Mediator service component with a request-response interface has only parallel routing rules, the Mediator service component does not send a response back to the caller. Though you can create this type of Mediator service component, the caller of the Mediator service component does not receive a response at runtime.
