You can configure a Workflow life cycle to route and process message items. When doing so, structure the life cycle so that each message item enters one and only one life cycle and is then processed by consecutive actions and rules, one at a time, until it leaves the life cycle or is transitioned. If the message item is transitioned or added to another life cycle, it should also be removed from its current life cycle to prevent parallel processing.

Note:

Setting a message item type on the Message Item Types property of a life cycle configured to process message items does not cause new message items of that message item type to be added to the life cycle automatically. For this type of life cycle, adding a message item type to a life cycle only enables that life cycle as an option when creating an XML Messaging operation in Web Services Publishing.

To create a life cycle to route message items:

  1. You can create a life cycle by completing one of the following two actions:

    Click the Life Cycle button in the Workflow ribbon within the New ribbon group or right-click in a repository in the Repositories pane within the Workflow tab and select New | Life Cycle.

  2. Enter a Name for the life cycle.
  3. Select Message Items for the type of items that will be processed in the life cycle.
  4. Click Next. The following dialog box is displayed.
  5. Enter the Name for a queue you want in the life cycle.
  6. Click Add.
  7. Repeat steps 5 to 6 for each queue you want to add.
    Note:

    By default an Initial queue is configured.

    Note:

    You can arrange queues in the list by selecting a queue and clicking the Move Up and Move Down buttons. You can also delete queues by selecting a queue and clicking Remove.

  8. Click Next.
  9. Select a message item type from the Message Item Types drop-down list that you want to be processed by the life cycle.
  10. Click Add.
  11. Repeat steps 9 to 10 for each message item type you want to add.
  12. Click Next.
  13. Select a User Group that you would like to grant rights to the life cycle from the User Groups drop-down list.
    Note:

    The User Group(s) assigned at the life cycle level during life cycle creation are assigned rights to the queues created in the wizard as well.

  14. Click Add.
  15. Repeat steps 13 to 14 for each User Group to which you want to grants rights. Click Next.
  16. A summary page is displayed that details the configuration of the new life cycle. Click Finish.
