PIPELINE pairs are request and response PIPELINES. The request pipeline definition specifies the actions that Oracle Service Bus performs on request messages to the PROXY service before invoking a business service or another proxy service. The response pipeline definition specifies the processing that Oracle Service Bus performs on responses from the business or proxy service that the proxy service invokes before returning a response to a client.

Each pipeline consists of a sequence of stages, each stage containing actions. However, a single service-level request pipeline might OPTIONALLY branch out into operational pipelines (you can configure one default operational pipeline at most one PER operation). The determination of the operation is done through user-selected criteria. The response processing starts with the relevant operation pipeline which then joins into a single service-level response pipeline.
