Subflow mediation primitive properties

You can specify values for mediation primitive properties either by using the property fields in the IBM® Integration Designer user interface or by using an XML format. The property field names displayed in IBM Integration Designer are generally different from the property names used when building a mediation flow using XML code. In the following information, icons are used to identify each property name used in IBM Integration Designer and the corresponding XML name. (Where applicable, XML names that are required, but not shown in IBM Integration Designer, are also described.)

Subflow file

The name of the file containing the subflow implementation. For example, TestSubflow.subflow.

Field detail	Value and notes
Required	No
Valid values	String Note:

Subflow name

The qualified name specified in the subflow implementation of the format {namespace}localpart. For example, {http://TestModule}TestSubflow

Field detail	Value and notes
Required	No
Valid values	String Note:

Subflow properties

These properties correspond to the properties promoted from primitives within the subflow implementation.

Field detail	Value and notes
Name name The name of the property, which corresponds to the alias name of the promoted property. Type type The type of the property. For example, `STRING`. Value value The value of the property.

Subflow references

This represents the mapping between a reference defined on the subflow implementation and a reference defined on the parent flow.

Field detail	Value and notes
Name name The name of the reference in the subflow implementation. Interface interface The interface of the reference. Value value The name of the reference in the parent flow to which the reference in the subflow is mapped.

Considerations

Limitations of mediation subflows:

You cannot use a Policy Resolution primitive in a subflow.
You cannot specify a context element within a subflow. Context elements that are available in the parent flow are also available to mediation primitives in the subflow.

Sample XML code

<node name="mySubflow" type="Subflow" >
  <property name="subflowFile" value="mySubflow.subflow"/>
  <property name="subflowName" value="{http://TestMod}mySubflow"/>
  <inputTerminal description="The In node is the starting point for the subflow."/>
  <outputTerminal description="The Out node is the end point for the subflow.">
    <wire targetNode="Fail1"/>
  </outputTerminal>
  <failTerminal/>
</node>
