NWDS iFlow and Communication Channel best practice

[che_eky]

Hi,

Is there a recommended best practice for creation of Communication Channels when using NWDS? I know that CC can be created:

1. CC can be created automatically from the iFlow
2. CC can be created manually against the Business System and then referenced in the iFlow

When a CC is created from the iFlow it is not visible against the Business System in NWDS, which is annoying.

Any advise? This is a fresh system so no CC migrated from the Integration Directory.

Hi Che,

This mainly depends how you wanna do it. We usually create the CCs and assign them in the Integration Flow. This makes it also easier when you have to use the classical Swing PI-Tools for example if you need to do something which is not possible in NWDS yet.

Hi Harald,

So a CC created in NWDS can be maintained in Swing, but one created from an iFlow should not be maintained in Swing?

Thanks

Hi Che,

The automatically created CC via Integration Flow should not be changed in Swing, since then NWDS does not know about the changes. Therefore, manually create the CCs in Swing or in NWDS and assign those to the flow. That's how we do it. Then changes can be done in both tools.
