### Routing Options Action Properties

In a message flow, use a routing options action to modify any or all of the following properties in the outbound request: URI, Quality of Service, Mode, Retry parameters, Message Priority.

In the Message Flow Editor, click a routing options action to display its properties in the Properties view. Use these properties pages to configure the selected routing options action. The pages are:

- Routing Options
- Comment
- Namespaces
- Variables

The Routing Options page has the following option:

Option | Description
--- | ---
URI | Select this option to set the URI for the outbound message: To create or edit an expression, click <Expression> (or the expression_fragment, if one is already defined) to display the XQuery/XSLT Expression Editor. Enter an expression that returns a URI. This overrides the URI for the invoked service.
QoS | Select this option to set the Quality of Service element: Select a QoS option from the drop-down list. This overrides the default.
Mode | Select this option to set the mode to Request or Request-Response. Select the mode from the drop-down list.
Note: | This is normally already automatically set, based on the interface of the service invoked. However, in some cases like Any Soap or Any XML services, this is not so.
Retry Interval | Select this option to set the retry interval. Specify the number of seconds between retries. This overrides the default configured with the invoked service.
Retry Count | Select this option to set the retry count. Specify the number of retries the system must attempt before discontinuing the action. This overrides the default configured with the invoked service.
Priority | Select this option to set the message priority: To create or edit an expression, click <Expression> (or the expression_fragment, if one is already defined) to display the XQuery/XSLT Expression Editor. Enter an expression that returns a positive integer.
