Connecting output terminals to nodes
You can connect an output terminal to a subsequent node, although not all output terminals need to be connected.
Where the output terminal is connected, the data flows from the map output card to the output terminal, and is propagated down the connection to the next node in the message flow. Where the output terminal is not connected, the data flows from the map output card to the IBM® Transformation Extender adapter specified on the card.
The Terminal Selection dialog is displayed when you right-click and select Create connection, or if the node has so many terminals that they have been grouped together in the user interface, for example, a Compute node or TX Map node with many output cards.
When you connect a TX Map
node output terminal to a subsequent node, IBM Integration Toolkit displays
the Terminal Selection dialog if the map has four or
more output cards. The Terminal Selection dialog displays
the output terminals, plus an additional failure terminal,
for you to select. As an example, if your map has four output cards, the following
terminals are available for you to select from the list of terminals:
- failure
- out1
- out2
- out3
- out4
