Using deploy anywhere integrations in flow services

Creating flow services using deploy anywhere assets, that is package services or deploy anywhere flow services is the same as creating regular flow services. But, you must configure runtime and sync your flow service.

Before you begin

If you want to use services defined in a webMethods packages, make sure that the packages are added to your project.

About this task

Creating flow services that use deploy anywhere assets is the same as creating regular flow services. The following more steps are required for deploy anywhere assets:
Select Runtime
Configure the runtime on which the integration must run.
Sync
Syncs the packages with the runtime.

Procedure

  1. From the navigation pane, go to Projects and select a project.
  2. Click Integrations > Flow services.
  3. Click the Add icon.
    The Flow Editor page appears.
  4. In the flow step, click All.
    The services and connectors are displayed.
  5. To choose a deploy anywhere flow service, from the same project, select the project name. Or, to choose a custom package, select the custom package name.
    The selected package or deploy anywhere flow service is added to your flow step.
  6. Select the services.
  7. Click Save.
    The flow service is saved. By default, the changes are saved in Cloud Designtime.
  8. If you want to deploy to any other runtime, then do the following steps.
    1. Select a runtime.
    2. Click Sync to sync the packages.
      An orange or red dot appears on the Sync button when user actions are needed.
    3. Click Save.
    The services are now configured to your runtime.
  9. Click Run to run the flow service.

Results

The flow service runs on the selected runtime.

What to do next

You can export, import, and clone flow services that use package services. There are a few more steps that are needed to export, import, and clone flow services that use package services. For example, assume, a flow service in Project A uses a package service that belongs to the same project. If this flow service is imported into Project B, you need to do the following steps:
  1. Import the referenced package services from Project A to Project B.
  2. Identify the steps in Project A that use the package services and re-create the following steps in Project B:
    • Re-create the mappings and map sets that are used by the package services.
    • Delete the old steps from Project A.

    This process makes sure that the flow service works properly in Project B, with all steps re-created.
