When to Use the Integration Flow Designer
Use the Integration Flow Designer when you have multiple maps to manage within your enterprise. Just one click can build or port as many maps as you have defined in any system.
Note: You must use the Integration Flow Designer to generate systems if you
plan to use the Launcher. The Integration Flow Designer is the client definition
facility for the Launcher.
You do not need the Integration Flow Designer if you are using a Command Server. However, you will find it to be very useful as a client facility for managing maps that will be run by a Command Server. The Integration Flow Designer generates process control information for Command Servers in the form of command files. Generating these command files manually is tedious and error-prone. Using the Integration Flow Designer eliminates possible manual errors.
