Configuring a Flow Client operation to invoke a flow with inputs

In a Connector step that invokes a flow with inputs, configure the Flow Client operation to use a profile specific to the flow that outlines the structure of the outbound JSON document in which there are particular inputs.

Procedure

1. Create the Flow Client operation component.

2. In the operation, click Import.

   The Flow Client Import Wizard opens.

3. Do one of the following:

   • To browse for available object types in a runtime cloud, click Browse in Cloud.

   • To browse for available object types in a basic runtime, click Browse in Runtime.

4. If you selected Browse in Runtime, in the list, select the basic runtime in which to browse for available object types.

5. Select or create the Flow Client Connection for the flow user.

6. Click Next.

   The wizard advances to the next screen.

7. In the Object Type list, select the object type derived from the most recently published version of the flow.

8. Click Next.

   The wizard advances to the next screen.

   In that screen, Request Profile shows the name of the generated request profile. The profile name is Object Type, with the prefix Flow Client and the suffix EXECUTE Request — for example, Flow Client My Flow with Inputs EXECUTE Request— unless a profile with that name already exists in the account. In that case a unique number is appended to the profile name — for example, Flow Client My Flow with Inputs EXECUTE Request 2.

9. Click Finish.

   The wizard closes and generates the profile. In the operation, Object and Request Profile update to reflect the object type you selected in the wizard and the generated profile.

10. Optional: To enable processing to continue if the operation returns an error, select Return Application Error Responses.

11. Save the operation.
