Creating control flow

You must create a control flow to control how complete message collections are propagated to other nodes in your IBM App Connect for Manufacturing message flow.

About this task

Before deploying any of the message flows that use App Connect for Manufacturing nodes, you must create a control flow and deploy the control flow on the integration server.
Note: Each integration server can have only one control flow.

To create an application, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Drag the Control-Send and Control-Receive nodes from the Manufacturing drawer list to the Canvas.
  2. Create a connection between the Control-Send and Control-Receive nodes by connecting the Control-Send Out terminal to the Control-Receive In terminal.

    The connection is made when you click a valid input terminal.

  3. Optional: If your message flow is deployed on multiple integration servers, include the MQTTPublish and MQTTSubscribe nodes in your control flow to achieve high availability in App Connect for Manufacturing environment.
