Changing the format of mediation flows

You can save your mediation flows in an XML format that is easy to read, thus simplifying team development and compare and merge of the mediation flows. By default, new mediation flows are saved in the XML format.

About this task

When you import a mediation flow that was created in a previous version of IBM® Integration Designer, the old format is maintained. When you save the mediation flow, you are prompted to save the mediation flow in the new format.

Procedure

You can also convert your mediation flows from the Business Integration view, by following these steps:

  1. Select the projects that contain the mediation flows that you want to convert.
  2. Right-click and select Convert mediation flow format.

Results

  • If you saved your mediation flow in a single file (this is the default), it is saved in a file with a .mfc extension
  • If you saved your mediation flow into multiple files to facilitate team development, in addition to an .mfc file, an .mfcflow file is created for each operation.
  • For each mediation subflow, a file with the extension .subflow is created.
To view the XML format, right click the mediation flow, and select Open With > XML Editor
