Developing message flow applications

You define a App Connect for Manufacturing message flow in the Toolkit by using the built-in message flow nodes, each of which represents a set of actions that define a processing step.

About this task

You can determine processing steps, their order of execution, and the conditions under which the steps are run.

Each message flow includes a number of nodes, each of which represents a set of actions that define a processing step. When you want to run a message flow to process messages, you deploy it to an integration node, where it is run in an integration server. The path that you create between one node and another is known as a connection.

Create your own custom message flow by using the App Connect for Manufacturing built-in nodes.

Use the Manufacturing Perspective to create or update an existing client item for App Connect for Manufacturing nodes so that the OPC UA server data is available in your message flow.
