Creating a Connection Between Selected Actions

Use

You have the option of creating a connection between two actions.

Prerequisites

You have opened an integration scenario. The integration scenario contains at least two actions.

There are three different situations where you require a connection between two actions. Each situation requires you to implement a particular connection type:

· To connect two subsequent actions within the same application component, you must define a sequence connection.

· To connect two actions from different application components that communicate with each other synchronously, you must define a synchronous connection. Both actions must be on the same level in the integration scenario graphic.

· To connect two actions from different application components that communicate with each other asynchronously, you must define an asynchronous connection. The target action must be on a lower level than the source action in the integration scenario graphic.

Procedure

...

1. Select both actions in the graphical work area of the integration scenario editor.

2. Choose Create Connection Between Selected Actions from the context menu.

The system displays the Display/Edit Connection editor. Make any additional specifications about the connection here.

From action (from the connection), to action (to the connection), and the type of connection are determined from the selected actions.

For more information, see the Display/Edit Connection Between Selected Actions section in this documentation.

3. Choose Apply.

Result

A connection is inserted between the two actions and is shown as a polygon in the graphical work area.
