Splitting the processing of message flows

Process parts of your message flow in different locations by creating one message flow that calls another message flow.

Before you begin

Read the concept information in Callable message flows.

About this task

Callable flows allow you to split your message flow processing between different locations. Callable message flows also facilitate reuse because they can be called by multiple message flows. You can split your processing between IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, or between different applications in IBM App Connect Enterprise.

The calling flow uses a CallableFlowInvoke node to call a CallableInput node in the callable flow. The callable flow then uses a CallableReply node to return information to the CallableFlowInvoke node in the original flow.

If your initial and callable flows are in the same integration server, are both in IBM App Connect Enterprise, or are both in IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, they can communicate with each other as soon as you deploy them. If one of your flows is in IBM App Connect Enterprise while the other is in IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud, you must configure communication between them. The flows use a Switch server to route data, and connectivity agents to connect securely to the Switch server.

You can split flows into multiple callable flows. However, for simplicity, the following tasks describe how to create two flows only: a calling flow and a callable flow.

Procedure

To split the processing of your message flows, complete the following steps.
