Adding a Task to a Path

Before you add tasks, expand the palette on the Mediation Flow Editor to show the list of tasks available.

Not all tasks can be added to all paths. See the description of each task in Chapter 12, Reference, for more information about the type of path where you can use the task.

Procedure

  1. You can add single tasks to a mediation path using the following options:
    Operation Procedure
    Select Select the task in the palette, and click the path line where you want to add the task.
    Drag Drag a task from the palette to a path. Hold the mouse button until the cursor is over the path.
    • When a task can be added to the path, the path line becomes bold and the cursor changes to this icon to indicate the task can be added.
    • If the task cannot be added to the path, the cursor changes to this icon .
    • If tasks are already on the current path, a vertical line appears on the path to show where the new task will be inserted. Move the cursor before or after the existing task to add the task to a specific location.
  2. You can add multiple tasks of the same type to a mediation path.
    1. Select the task in the palette.
    2. Press the Ctrl key while clicking on the path.
      Route tasks cause the path to split into sub-paths. If your mediation flow requires routing, add the route tasks to the path first. Adding a route task to a specific location can be difficult when other tasks are already on the path.
