      Hi,
      I’m having issues with a problem that should be quite easy to solve but not for me..

      I have two clients  (A,B)sending messages to two receive ports. Message type for both are .net classes written by myself. From the data in these messages i need to create a third message and send it forward.

      I don’t know in which order the clients are sending the messages, so I figured I need to use the parallel shape. The problem for me comes with the correlation, since the only logic available is to compare the “ReadTime” -value coming in the message from A to “ObservationTime” coming in the message from B.

      The logic for combining these two is that I know that the “ReadTime” is three seconds less than “ObservationTime”. If this is true I can process the messages.

      I hope you can help me out.

      This sounds like a poor way of identifying that the messages are related because there will always be times when the messages cannot be received approximately 3 seconds apart. There must be other characteristics or properties on the messages that indicates to you the messages are related.

      Thanks,
