Concepts

Always On v1

Always On is the term used to describe a Workflow that executes continuously until explicitly stopped.

Configure Variable Bar v1

Properties can be added to the Variable Bar by clicking the + icon, existing Properties can be edited or removed by clicking on the Name of an existing Property.

Configure Workflow Screen v1

The Configuration variables screen manages values for Configuration Variable Properties used by a v1 Runtime Workflow.

Connection v1

A Connection is a reusable configuration for accessing a service or data source.

Connector Node Type v1

A Connector is a wrapper around a third party app or service and typically interfaces with it via its API.

DropPoint v1

A DropPoint is a Windows Service that is installed on to a Windows server or workstation in order to enable Flowgear to access data sources that are not exposed to the Internet.

Evaluator Node Type v1

Evaluators assess a condition and typically run In Cloud.

Flow Connector v1

A Flow Connector is a visual connection between Nodes or Node Properties in a Workflow.

Flow Socket v1

A Flow Socket is a target for a Flow Connector that may appear to the left (input) or right (output) of a Node Property.

Node v1

Nodes (sometimes referred to as Connectors or Adapters) are the elements that are dropped on to the Workflow Canvas in order to describe an integration process.

Node Header v1

The Node Header displays the Icon and name for the Node.

Node Property v1

Node Properties enable interaction with the Node by providing a set of inputs and outputs and are composed of four visual areas.

Processor Node Type v1

Processors deal with processing data internally.

Run From v1

By default, Nodes execute from within the Cloud runtime.

Run Now v1

Run Now starts a published Workflow on demand from Console or through its configured API interface.

Run Now Screen v1

The Run Now screen provides a way to start a Workflow without opening its designer.

Trigger Node Type v1

Triggers block until a condition (such as a time interval, change in filesystem or arrival of email in a mailbox) is met.

Workflow v1

A Workflow is a visual representation of an integration or business process.

Workflow Canvas v1

The Workflow Canvas is the visual design area for Nodes and Flow Connectors.

Workflow Design Basics v1

A v1 Runtime Workflow is a visual graph of Nodes joined by execution and data Flow Connectors.

Workflow Design Screen v1

The Workflow Design screen is the v1 Runtime design surface for composing Workflows on the visual Canvas.

Workflow Design Settings Screen v1

The Workflow settings dialog configures identity, logging, activation, HTTP binding, and supported MCP options for a v1 Runtime Workflow.

Workflow Logs Screen v1

The Workflow Logs screen lists each executed Node with its timing, description, result, Execution Output, and captured input and output Properties.
