Preparing the environment for callable flows

To split message flow processing between different locations, you must set up secure data routing.

Before you begin

Read the concept information in Callable message flows.

About this task

You can split message flows to process data in different locations, such as IBM App Connect Enterprise and IBM App Connect Enterprise as a Service, which can improve performance and promote reuse.

If you are splitting processing between App Connect Enterprise and App Connect Enterprise as a Service, your flows communicate by using a Switch server and connectivity agents. The Switch server is a special integration server that routes data. The connectivity agents contain the certificates that your flows need to communicate securely with the Switch server. The connectivity agents must be running in both locations where you deployed your flow.

The steps that you need to take to prepare your environment differ depending on whether you are splitting processing between different integration servers, or between App Connect Enterprise and App Connect Enterprise as a Service. For more information, see the following tasks.
