### Pipeline Pair Node Properties

In a message flow, use a pipeline pair node to define request and response processing.

Message flows can include zero or more pipeline pair nodes: request and response pipelines for the proxy service (or for the operations on the service), and error handler pipelines that can be defined for stages, pipelines, and proxy services. Pipelines can include one or more stages, which in turn include actions.

A pipeline pair always contains a request pipeline and a response pipeline. Add stages and actions to those pipelines, as needed.

In the Message Flow Editor, click a pipeline pair node to display its properties in the Properties view. Use this properties page to configure the selected pipeline pair node. The options are:

Option | Description
--- | ---
Name | Enter a name for the pipeline pair node.
Description | Enter a description for the pipeline pair node.
