Correlation Key Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a correlation key by property sheet, double-click its name in the List of Correlation Keys or its Browser entry in the Correlation Keys folder.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name

Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.

Code

Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.

Comment

Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Variables Tab

This tab lists the variables (see Variables (BPM)) that define the current correlation key.

You can add variables to a correlation key to gather variables that are related to the same communication. The correlation key can then be associated with a process implemented by an operation.
