Process Flow Considerations

The following section describes considerations when creating a process flow in the iWay Designer tool.

Checking Out a Process Flow

To verify whether a process flow has been checked out, right-click on the process flow name and ensure that a key icon displays. If the process flow is not checked out, all inputs are disabled or grayed out.

Creating a New Process Flow

How to:

Create a New Process From an Existing One

To create a new process flow using an existing one as a base, it is recommended that you export the current process flow and then re-import it. Copying and pasting a process flow results in two process flows with the same unique identifier. When the new process flow is published it overwrites the previous one in the iWay Registry.
