<div>Many thanks Mike! The exact kind of explanation I was looking for. The SD example in the help just didn't click for me.</div>

<div>I'm not sure if SDN forum you mention has been noted here lately so....</div>

<br>key rather than the waitee (yes I'm making these terms up). The waitee<br>contains the waiter's key as an attribute.<br><br>One real-world situ where I would have liked to have used it in a non-XI<br>environment is a "wait for credit" function for an invoice. I have no
<br>idea what the credit's key is, but when it gets posted, IT will have the<br>key to the invoice object which is waiting for an event. Correlation<br>will relate it back and trip the wait step.<br><br>Something like that anyway...
