Tokens wait at the Join activity until one token arrives from each incoming connector. The token from the first connector is then released out the outgoing connector and the other tokens destroyed.
Specifying a Partition ID makes tokens wait only for other tokens in the same partition. This is useful for coordinating with other tokens of the same type. See Coordination for information on coordinating tokens.
The Join activity only allows one connector out.
The number of incoming connectors will affect the behavior of this activity. See Connectors and Coordination Activities for more about the unique behavior of connectors in Coordination activities.
