Designating collaboration ports for call-triggered flows

For each collaboration you wish to configure for a call-triggered flow, you must configure the port on the collaboration object.

To configure a collaboration port for a call-triggered flow:

  1. Double-click the collaboration object that you want to configure in the Collaboration objects folder either in the Integration component libraries folder or in the User projects folder in System Manager.
  2. To edit the port bindings in the graphical view, right-click the icon for a port and select Bind Port from the Context menu. To edit the port bindings in the outline view, right-click the icon for a port and select Bind Port from the Context menu. For information on "Collaboration object views," see the System Implementation Guide.

    The Configure port dialog opens. Its default setting for the Type of port is Internal, which enables bindings to connectors and collaborations.

    Figure 5 shows editing the port binding in the outline view (right side) and the Configure port dialog that opens (left side).

  3. Click External in the Type area of the Configure port dialog.

    This displays the Configure port (External) dialog box as shown in Figure 6. In the Configure As area, the dialog displays the type of port you have chosen to configure: Incoming if business object requests are received by the port or Outgoing if business object responses are sent out of the port.
