A mediation subflow is a preconfigured set of mediation primitives that are sequenced together to represent a series of steps in a mediation flow. With subflows, you can more easily customize the default Access Gateway flows and apply your customizations across multiple flows.
A subflow is analogous to a snippet or a macro that is used within a larger routine. When you insert a subflow into your Access Gateway flows, you can change all of the flows simply by changing the one subflow–rather than by having to change each individual flow. The change in the subflow is propagated to every flow in which the subflow is embedded.
Several subflows are provided for your use with the Telecom Web Services Server version 7.1 product.
