Creating control flow

You must create a control flow to control how complete message collections are propagated to other nodes in your IBM® App Connect for Manufacturing message flow.

About this task

Before deploying any of the message flows that use IBM App Connect for Manufacturing nodes, you must create a control flow (Using Control Send > Control receive nodes) and deploy the control flow on the Integration server.
Note: Each integration server can have only one control flow.

To create an application, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Drag the Control-Send and Control-Receive nodes from the Manufacturing drawer list to the Canvas.
  2. Create a connection between the Control-Send and Control-Receive nodes by connecting the Control-Send Out terminal to the Control-Receive In terminal. The connection is made when you click a valid input terminal.
  3. Optional: If your message flow is deployed on multiple integration servers, include the MQTTPublish and MQTTSubscribe nodes in your control flow to achieve high availability in IBM App Connect for Manufacturing environment.
