What does ' Success if no matching condition' transition mean ?

Lets say between two nodes N1 and N2, there are 3 success transitions with condition and there is no success transition without condition. If none of the conditions match then a 'Success if no matching condition' transition can be used. Also if there is a success transition and also success transitions with condition and if the condition matches then both the success transition (no condition) as well as the transition(s) with matching conditions are followed. So you can use 'Success if no matching condition' to prevent duplicate paths of execution.

What are the different modes of service invocation?

Services can be invoked in several ways.

• A one-way operation is executed once and does not wait for a response.
• A request-response operation is executed once and waits for one response. In a request-response service, communication flows in both directions. The complete interaction consists of two point-to-point messages—a request and a response. The interaction is only considered complete after the response has arrived.
• Publication (notification) means an operation sends information on an as-needed basis, potentially multiple times.
• Subscription means incoming information is processed on an as-needed basis, potentially multiple times.
