I have not needed to use much correlation at past clients, but current cliient uses it a lot!
I see one case where they send out 5 messages in a loop, then wait for 5 responses. To get around the limitation of not beign able to initialize correlation in the loop, they have one send before the loop which initializes correlation, then a send in a loop that loops 4 times using \”following correlation\”.
There was one orch. that compiled that used \”following orchestration\” instead of \”initialziing\” and it compiled, but I’m guessing it would cause a run-time error.
Other than the loop, why would you not always want to use \”initializing correlation\”?
