Follow the instructions below to add an "On error sequence."
1. Click on the "Governance Registry" or the "Configuration Registry" link to select a previously created sequence to be used on error.
2. In the displayed Registry window, select a sequence and click on the "OK" button.
3. Click "Save Template," "Save Template As" or "Apply" to add "On Error Sequence."
Adding Parameters to a Sequence Template
1. In case, you want to add parameters to sequence templates, click on the "Add Parameter" link.
2. Then a page appear with a parameter table. Specify the parameter name.
Such parameter names can be accessed within different child nodes using XPath. The example below shows, how to use this in the Send Mediator with XPath.
Viewing the XML of a Sequence Template
1. Click "switch to source view" to view the XML of the particular sequence template.
