Create a message flow to specify how to process messages in the broker. You can create one or more message flows and deploy them to one or more brokers.
The message flow and its resources are stored in a file system or in a shared repository. A file system can be on the local drive, or a shared drive. If you store files in a repository, you can use all the available repositories that are supported by Eclipse; for example, CVS.
Use this process to create a .msgflow file, in which you can define either a complete message flow that you can deploy, or a subflow that provides a subset of function (for example, a reusable error processing routine), that you cannot deploy on its own. To create a subflow that you can deploy as an individual resource, you must define the subflow in a .subflow file. For more information about subflows and the differences between subflows that are defined in .subflow files and subflows that are defined in .msgflow files, see Subflows.
The mode that your broker is working in can affect the number of message flows that you can use; see Restrictions that apply in each operation mode.
To create a message flow, complete the following steps.
Define the content of the message flow by following the instructions in Defining message flow content.
