You are viewing the documentation for Blueriq 15. Documentation for other versions is available in our documentation directory.
This container can be used for embedding an external flow from a different Blueriq application.
See also Decoupling Pattern 8: External Flow Container
To have the AQ_ExternalFlow container definition available, please make sure your project references the latest AquimaLibrary version.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description and usage |
|---|---|
| Connection | The expression results in the name of the connection used for configuring the flow on the target runtime. |
| Data Mapping | The Data Mapping used for mapping the data between the source profile (current domain) and the interface profile (contract domain). |
| Contract | The name of the Contract that the container needs to implement. Selecting the Contract triggers the pre-fill of the Contract events in the "Events" tab. |
| Contract events | when opening the "Events" tab, in the "Contract events" group, there are 3 columns :
|
Example for configuring the connection:
application-external-flow.properties
blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.project = projectname // the REQUIRED name of the project that contains the flow to be started blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.version = 0.0-Trunk // the REQUIRED version of the project that contains the flow to be started blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.flow = flowname // the REQUIRED name of the flow to be started blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.channel = channel // the OPTIONAL name of the channel be started blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.baseurl = https://<external-url>:<port>/Runtime/server // the OPTIONAL URL of the external host where the target project is on (if omitted the same server is assumed).
Alternatively it is possible to indicate a shortcut. When using the shortcut-name property, the project, version and flow properties are no longer required.
The shortcut should point to the target runtime, where the external flow is defined.
application-external-flow.properties
blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.shortcut-name = myShortcut blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.channel = channel blueriq.connection.<connection-name>.external-flow.baseurl = https://<external-url>:<port>/Runtime/server
When both a project/version/flow and a shortcut are configured, the shortcut takes precedence.
The connection name, namely <connection-name> in the example above, needs to match the result of the evaluated expression in the "Connection" parameter of the AQ_ExternalFlow container.
