If this node has more than one input terminal, the Terminal Selection dialog box is displayed again, listing the input terminals of the selected node. Click the correct terminal and click OK.
Alternatively, you can make a connection in the following way:

over a node or subflow in a message flow. To view metadata information
for a node, subflow, or connection:

- Open a message flow.
- In the Message Flow editor, hold the mouse pointer over a node, a subflow, or a node connection in the open message flow by placing the mouse over the element.
