Developing message flow applications

A message flow is a sequence of processing steps that run in the integration node when an input message is received. Each message flow includes a number of nodes, each of which represents a set of actions that define a processing step. When you want to run a message flow to process messages, you deploy it to an integration node, where it is run in an integration server.

About this task

You define a IBM® App Connect for Manufacturing message flow in the Toolkit by using the built-in message flow nodes, each of which represents a set of actions that define a processing step. You can determine processing steps, their order of execution, and the conditions under which the steps are run.

The path that you create between one node and another is known as a connection.

Create your own custom message flow by using the App Connect for Manufacturing built-in nodes.
