Using a Database Service with a Compute node

Use a Database Service with a Compute node to make database operations accessible to the message flow.

Before you start:

Create a message flow containing a Compute node. For more information, see Compute node.
Create a Database Service. For more information, see Creating a Database Service.

Complete the following steps to use a Database Service with a Compute node:

In the Application Development view, select the required Database Service .service file.
Drag the selected Database Service onto a Compute node. Alternatively, right-click the Compute node, click Use Database Service, and select the required Database Service.
Select the required database operations. This results in the following actions:
- A compute module named DatabaseServiceName.esql is generated in the broker schema that is derived from the namespace of the service and port type of the database binding. This compute module contains one ESQL procedure for each database operation that you selected, and is located in the same library as your Database Service file.
  Note: The port type name is the same as the operations group name that you created on the Service Operations panel of the Database Service editor.
- A PATH statement for the generated compute module is created so that the Database Service can be called. This PATH statement is located in the ESQL module that is associated with your Compute node.
In your ESQL module, call the Database Service by supplying the required parameters.
Optional: Add ESQL code to handle database errors that might occur when you call the generated procedure. For more information, see Coding ESQL to handle errors.
Note: Database errors are raised as exceptions only if the Throw exception on database error check box is selected on the Compute node. The check box is selected by default. For more information, see Compute node.

The Compute node can access the database operations that you specified in your Database Service.
