1. In the Message Flow Design Palette, open the ALSB Message Flow > Nodes list, if it is not already open.
2. Drag the operational branch node to the desired location in the message flow.

To configure the operational branch node

1. In the Message Flow Editor, click the operational branch node, if it is not already selected.
2. On the Operational Branch Node Properties page, edit properties as appropriate.
