New Content Added for Integration Flow Design Guidelines

The integration flow design guidelines have been enhanced by two new integration packages. Each integration package already contains a first set of integration flows (and corresponding documentation has been provided):

• A new integration package Integration Flow Design Guidelines - Learn the Basics contains integration flows that show you how to model the first, simple integration scenarios and how to use the elementary integration flow components. With this update, you find integration flows that cover the following learning targets:

  • Model your first, simple integration flow end-to-end.

  • Use the Converter step (to convert JSON to XML and CSV to XML, and vice versa).

  • Access headers and properties.

  • Encode and decode content

    (Covers: MIME Multipart Encoder and Decoder steps, Base64 Encoder and Decoder steps)

  • Set the mapping context.

  See: Learn the Basics

• A new integration package Integration Flow Design Guidelines - Scripting Guidelines provides integration flows that show you how to apply the Script step. With this update, you find integration flows that cover the following learning targets:

  • Access secure parameters in a Script.

  • Access headers and properties in a Script.

  • Access a value mapping in a Script.

  The related documentation also provides recommendations when using the Script step, in particular, examples of how you don't use the Script step.
