Question

Hi all,
I Am trying to implement sequential convoy for my knowledge.
1-in which scenario I will use sequential convoy please give me an example(as i know that if we want to execute a process in predefined steps then we will follow sequential convoy).
2-how we will implement this in our application ? what are the steps..
Below are the steps which I am following for creating my test application
a) created 4 schema
     1-firstname schema (id,fname)
     2-lastname schema (id,lname)
     3-Property schema(id) for corelation
     4-output schema (id,fullname)
b)Orchestaion
i have created 3 message.
msgFname,msgLname,msgFullname.
in designing of orchestation
first draged a recive shape with activate ="true" and message type is "msgFname"  initialize corelation here
draged a recive shape below the first recive shape with activate ="false" and message type is "msgLname" will following corelation here
will do mapping with final output msg (msgfullname).and will send final output.
