You can add, rename, and remove
dynamic output terminals on a .NETInput in the Message Flow
editor.
About this task
The .NETInput node can support
dynamic output terminals. When you have added the .NETInput node to the flow
editor, you can add, remove, or rename dynamic terminals.
Procedure
- Adding a dynamic terminal
- Right-click the node and click Add Output
Terminal.
- Enter a name for the new terminal and click OK.
The name must be unique for the terminal type. For example,
if an output terminal called Out already exists,
you cannot create a dynamic output terminal with the name Out.
The new terminal is displayed on the node. If a node has five or more terminals, they are
displayed as a terminal group:
To connect
a particular output terminal, click the terminal group to open the
Terminal Selection dialog box, or right-click the node and select Create
Connection.
- Renaming a dynamic terminal
- Right-click the node and click Rename Output
Terminal.
These options are available only
if you have added one or more appropriate terminals to the node.
- Select from the list the name of the terminal that you
want to change.
Only dynamic terminals are listed because
you cannot change the name of a static terminal.
- Enter a new name for the terminal and click OK.
Do not rename a dynamic terminal if one of the node properties
is configured to use that name.
- Removing a dynamic terminal
- Right-click the node and click Remove Output
Terminal.
These options are available only
if you have added one or more appropriate terminals to this node.
- Select from the list the name of the terminal that you
want to remove and click OK.
Only
dynamic terminals are listed because you cannot remove a static terminal.
Do not remove a dynamic terminal if one of the node properties is
configured to use that terminal.
What to do next
When you have added dynamic output
terminals to the .NETInput node,
connect them to other nodes in the message flow. For more information,
