Deployment configurations for subflows created as .subflow files

You have different deployment configurations, that is combinations of resources that are supported in IBM® Integration Bus run time, when you deploy applications and integration services into the runtime environment. Deployment configurations depend on the configuration choices you make when you build a BAR file and how you have designed your message flow and subflows.

In IBM Integration Bus, you can deploy subflows created as a .subflow file as part of your application or your service.

The following table summarizes the different combinations of resources that are supported in IBM Integration Bus run time when you deploy applications and integration services into the runtime environment and the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is not selected:

Table 1. Summary of supported deployment configurations for applications and integration services in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 and later versions where the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is not selected
Configurations with the option Compile and in-line resources not selected (These are recommended configurations for IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 and later versions) 1 2 3 4 5
Message flow (.msgflow) x x x    
Subflow (.subflow) with generic input node   x   x  
Subflow (.subflow) with an Input node such as MQInput node     x   x
Bar file resources 1 .msgflow file 1 .msgflow file and 1 .subflow source file 1 .msgflow file and 1 .subflow source file 1 .subflow source file 1 .subflow source file
Configuration valid valid valid valid valid

Table 2. Summary of supported deployment configurations for applications and integration services in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 and later versions where the Compile and in-line resources option to build a BAR file is selected
Configurations with the option Compile and in-line resources selected (These configurations are available for compatibility with previous releases of IBM Integration Bus.) 1 2 3 4 5
Message flow (.msgflow) x x x    
Subflow (.subflow) with generic input node   x   x  
Subflow (.subflow) with an Input node such as MQInput node     x   x
Bar file resources 1 .cmf file 1 .cmf file and 1 .subflow source file 1 .cmf file and 1 .subflow source file 1 .subflow source file 1 .subflow source file
Configuration valid valid, but it is not recommended valid, but it is not recommended valid valid

Note: Although you can define a message flow that includes subflows created as a .subflow file and subflows created as a .msgflow file, then create a BAR file that includes both types of subflows, and then deploy the BAR file objects into the runtime environment, this configuration is not recommended.
