Description

A Service is the container of one or more workflow (Operations). It refers to a group of software components that perform a specific business logic.

VulCon / GreenVulcano^® ESB Configuration

A GreenVulcano^® ESB's service is identified by a unique name (id-service), belongs to a group and has an activation state.

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.

      <Operation name="RequestReply" operation-activation="on" out-check-type="sys-svc-id" type="operation">
          <Participant id-channel="TEST_CHANNEL_FILE" id-system="GVESB"/>

          </Flow>
