> A path service is persistent map that can be used to store the mapping of a group of messages in a Message Unit-of-Order to a messaging resource in a cluster. It provides a way to enforce ordering by pinning messages to a member of a cluster hosting servlets, distributed queue members, or store-and-forward agents.

> This page summarizes the path service instances that have been configured for this resource group.

> NOTE: WebLogic Server Multitenant domain partitions, resource groups, resource group templates, and virtual targets are deprecated in WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4.0. The related Console and help pages will be removed in the next release.
