Use this task to configure context properties for a mediation.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have defined a mediation in the administrative
console. For more information, see
Defining a mediation.
Why and when to perform this task
The mediation uses the mediation context, in conjunction with the
message header information, to process messages. By configuring the mediation
context, you are ensuring that messages are processed correctly.
Note: Context
properties on a destination take precedence over context properties on a mediation.
For example, if a property with the same name is configured for a destination
and a mediation, the property on the destination takes precedence.
