Creating a user-defined node from a subflow from scratch

Create a user-defined node that packages a subflow by creating a user-defined node project, then creating the user-defined node.

About this task

  • After you have created a user-defined node, you can edit its properties in the Palette editor.
  • You can define as many user-defined nodes as you want in the same user-defined node project.
To create any type of user-defined node, use the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create a user-defined node project:
    1. To open the New User-defined Node Project wizard, click File > New > User-defined Node Project.
    2. Either choose an existing category, or create a category by clicking Create a new category. Your user-defined nodes are displayed in the palette in the Message Flow editor under the category you specify for the project. You can have only one category in each user-defined node project.
    3. Enter the details for the remainder of the fields as required, then click Finish.
    A user-defined node project is created.
  2. Create a user-defined node:
    1. To open the New User-defined Node wizard, click File > New > User-defined Node.
    2. Select the user-defined node project that you created previously.
    3. Select the schema location that you want to host the user-defined node. Use a fully qualified schema. Do not use a default or mqsi schema.
    4. Enter the details for the remainder of the fields as required.
    5. Select Implemented as a subflow. The Message Flow editor opens.
    6. Click Finish.
  3. Decide on the location of your user-defined node in the palette. See Choosing the location of a user-defined node in the palette.

What to do next

You can now define the reusable logic and the terminals and properties of the user-defined node.
