A GreenVulcano^® ESB's service is identified by a unique name (id-service), belongs to a group and has an activation state and a number of clients enabled at its invocation (section Clients).

You can configure the conditions applied to the routing of Service's flows (Conditions section).

The definitions used here are valid for all flows associated with service and overwrite any global definitions.

<Service group-name="GVTEST" id-service="Test" service-activation="on" statistics="off">
      <Operation name="RequestReply" operation-activation="on" out-check-type="sys-svc-id" type="operation">
          <Participant id-channel="TEST_CHANNEL_FILE" id-system="GVESB"/>
          <Flow first-node="call_Test" point-x="20" point-y="150">
               ---
          </Flow>
      </Operation>
</Service>
