Creating an endpoint

You can create an endpoint from either the Activities tab or the Project tab. Use the Activities tab when you are in the process of building an orchestration and want to use the endpoint straight away. Use the Project tab to configure a set of endpoints for later use.

Creating an endpoint from the Activities tab

  1. Drag a connection activity from the Activities tab to the orchestration. The Checklist is displayed in the lower left side of the pane. The summary information is displayed, on the right.
  2. By default, the Activity Name displayed is the name of the connection activity; for example, FTP Poll Directory. To change the name, enter the new name in the field.
  3. Select Pick Endpoint from the Checklist. The endpoint pane is displayed to the right.
  4. Click New. The Create Endpoint dialog is displayed.
    Note: The dialog contents vary depending on what type of connection activity you create.

Creating an endpoint by right-clicking in the Project tab

  1. Right-click on the endpoints folder in the Project tab.
  2. Select Create Endpoint > EndpointType, where EndpointType is type of endpoint. A new endpoint is created and displayed under the endpoints folder in the Project tab with a default name. An Endpoint tab is displayed in the main Studio pane.
  3. Change the default name.
  4. Press Return.
  5. Configure the endpoint by specifying values in the Endpoint tab.
    Note: The fields in the tab are identical to the fields displayed for the same type of endpoint created from the Activities tab.

Creating an endpoint by clicking the New Endpoint icon in the Project tab

  1. Click the Project tab.
  2. In the Project tab, click the New Endpoint icon. A list with all types of endpoints is displayed.
  3. Select an Endpoint type.
  4. Change the default name.
  5. Press Return.

Creating an endpoint by right-clicking in the Project tab
