Issue 198: Why do multi-starts all have 
to have identical correlation sets?

Status: received
Date added: 12 Mar 
2005
Categories: Correlation
Date 
submitted: 11 March 2005
Submitter: Yaron Y. Goland
Description: Section 
6.5 requires that if a process has multiple start activities then all the start 
activities MUST use the same correlation sets. Why? I can understand the 
requirement that all start activities MUST share at least one common correlation 
set, this is needed for rendezvous. But why should all the correlation sets have 
to be identical? 

In fact, given that when there are multiple start activities this means it's 
likely that the messages received will be of different types and given that 
those different types will have different properties defined on them wouldn't it 
be the common case that a multi-start process would need to have different 
correlation sets on the different start activities? :Submitter’s proposal: We 
change the language in 6.5 to require that if a process has multiple start 
activities then all those activities MUST share at least one common correlation 
set.
