Launchers

The Integration Flow Designer is the tool you use to create and generate systems for the Launcher to run. A Launcher executes maps based on a sophisticated event-driven model. Maps are launched only when specific events occur and only when required resources to run the map are available. You can specify event triggers, source and target resources, and other settings for a map from the Integration Flow Designer.

For example, on Microsoft Windows systems, the Launcher is a service that runs maps in a multithreaded fashion. The Launcher is started and allowed to run continuously to monitor events and run maps accordingly.
