Event with Reply Dialog Box

This dialog box opens when you select the following options to create an orchestration link and a new synchronous orchestration workflow from the Action Wizard. (See Using the Action Wizard for information about the Action Wizard.)
  • Orchestration Workflow as the action type
  • and wait for reply (synchronous) in the rule description
  • (Add new workflow...) from the Select workflow service list

The information you specify in this dialog box is reflected in the orchestration link editor. For more information, see About Orchestration Links and Orchestration Link Editor.

Note: You can also open this dialog box by right-clicking the Orchestration Links heading in App Explorer and selecting Add New Event With Reply. In this scenario, you create the orchestration link first and then use it later in the Action Wizard. However, this method is not recommended.
