What is it for?
A service call is used to execute one of the many available services within a flow. There are services for a variety of purposes, such as:
- Managing instances
- Setting an Attribute or Relation
- Managing Aggregates
- Communicating with external sources
- Managing Document element and sending e-mails
- Calling Functions and function calls
- etc.
Use a service call
Service calls only work when they are placed within a flow. There are two ways to add a service call to a flow:
- Right click in on the grid of the flow and select "Add service call".
- From an existing flow node: find the link icon (
) on the start node, a node exit (
), or on an edge (
) and drag and drop it to an empty space in the flow. Then select "Add service call".
Exception exit
Each service call and subflow has an exception exit (
) which becomes visible after selecting the node or when it is connected to a node. If an exception occurs during execution, the exception exit will be followed.
