A mediation flow consists of a sequence of processing steps that are run by mediation primitives when an input message is received. Mediation flows be contained in modules or in mediation modules.

About this task

To create a mediation flow, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Switch to the business integration perspective.
  2. From the menu, select File > New > Mediation Flow to open the New Mediation Flow wizard.
  3. Select a mediation module or a module to contain the mediation flow.
    Note: Consider the following to help you decide the type of module to select:
    • If you want to deploy your mediation flow on WebSphere® Enterprise Service Bus, select a mediation module.
    • If you want to deploy on IBM® Business Automation Workflow, you can select either a module or a mediation module.
    • If you want to wire your mediation flow component directly to a business process, select a module.
  4. Select a folder and enter a name for the new mediation flow, and click Next
  5. Optional: In the Select an Interface window, select your source and target interfaces. You can also add the interfaces later in the mediation flow editor.
  6. Click Finish.

Results

The mediation flow editor opens. Next, choose the source operation and implement the mediation flow.

What to do next

You can also choose to create a mediation flow component when you create a mediation module. See "Creating a mediation module" for more information.
