After creating a Mediator, you can configure properties for the operation or event subscription specified for the component. On the Mediator Editor, you can specify whether to validate the schemas of inbound messages and you can specify a priority for the operation or event subscription.

To validate inbound message schemas, select the Validate Syntax (XSD) check box for an operation or event subscription in the Routing Rules section of the Mediator Editor. The Mediator Engine validates the XML inbound payload syntactic structure against the associated XML schema. Any syntax error, such as an incorrect element name or location, causes a fault and the routing rule is not processed.

To specify a priority for an Oracle Mediator component, select a value from zero to nine in the Priority field in the Mediator Editor's Routing Rules section. This determines the order in which messages are retrieved for all Oracle Mediator service components. This property is only valid for parallel routing rules and not sequential. For more information about priorities, see "Basic Principles of Parallel Routing Rules".
