Use this task when you want a mediation to apply its message processing
to messages at a selected specialized message point on a destination, at runtime.

Mediating a destination.
About this task
Starting (and stopping) a mediation is a runtime operation. All mediation
runtime operations are performed on specialized destination message points
called mediation points. When you start a mediation, the mediation begins
operating on messages at a selected mediation point. You can start a mediation
after the server has started. A mediation cannot operate on new messages at
a mediation point after server shutdown begins.
Tip: To ensure
that a mediation operates on a specific message at a mediation point, remove
all existing messages from the mediation point before you start the mediation.
For more information, see
