Linking Processes to output connectors

When the Message configuration is added to the Runtime configuration, you must link the Processes to the appropriate output connectors. For example, if you have a Message configuration that handles invoices, you must link the Processes to the output connectors that deliver the invoices to the target devices (printers, faxes, etc.).

Static and dynamic connections

When you link a Process to an output connector, you can either create a static connection or a dynamic connection.

If you create a static connection, the output is always delivered via the same output connector. Note that you cannot create static links from a Process to several connectors.

If you create a dynamic connection, variables in the processed data determine which output connector to use.

To create a static link

1	Activate the generic layer.

2	Draw a line between the connector and the Process (click-draw-release).

To create a dynamic link

1	Activate the generic layer.

2	Right-click the Process and select Connector Selection. The Connector Selection Method dialog box opens.

3	Select the appropriate method, specify the settings, and click OK.
