[quote:5776069ba3=\”chitchat \”]Within the listen shape i have a recieve shape and a delay shape followed by a construct message on either sides followed by a send shape.
Recieve = Activate – True
Initialising correlation – requestcorrelationset
Delay = new System. Timespan (0,5,0,0)[/quote:5776069ba3]
Is the listen shape the first shape in your orchestration?
It makes no sense to have an activatable receive unless the listen shape *is* the first shape in the orchestration (an activatable receive means that you hope to receive through it messages that activate a new instance of an orchestration). If it is like that, then the delay shape does not make sense, because there’s no orchestration instance to timeout on before you receive the activating message.
A setup like yours only makes sense if there are other shapes before the listen shape, and you have a real activatable receive at the start of the orchestration. If that’s the case, then the listen shape should contain a non-activatable receive that *follows* a correlation set (not initializes it).
Why do you need the delay shape? What are you trying to accomplish with it?
