A map component that references an executable map has a default set of sources
and targets defined within the referenced map. Map settings and card settings for
sources and targets are defined in the Map Designer, and may be overwritten in
the Integration Flow Designer.
The sources and targets defined in the map are the interface points of the map
component used within a system. The sources and targets of executable map
components are displayed in the main window of the Integration Flow Designer.
In the Integration Flow Designer, the expanded view of a map component
distinguishes its sources from its targets. By default, the sources are displayed to
the left of a map component and the targets are displayed to the right.
Benefits of the Integration Flow Designer
The graphical representation of systems in the Integration Flow Designer helps
you to visualize system designs, what-if scenarios, and system execution
behavior. The interface provides easy management of system definition diagrams
that allow concentration on the system design. Error reduction is achieved by
automation of repetitive tasks and the use of system hierarchy.
