Use to create a named conversation to model the message exchange between a process instance and the instances in another process or service.

Conversations enable you to group the message exchange between processes in a BPM project. Conversations can also define the state of a collaboration between two participants such as BPMN processes, BPEL processes, Human Tasks, Business Rules, and External References. For example, you must use named conversations when a process needs to have multiple parallel conversations with different instances of the same process or service.
