Project	Description
Project	To create a service flow diagram, first create a project in the workspace. AnyLink project is created for managing AnyLink resources. The resources in the project can reference one another and form relationships, and are grouped into a package.
BizTx/BizTx Group	BizTx is a business service provided by AnyLink. It includes a series of tasks that involve receiving a client request, forwarding it to a backend service, and returning the result in a response message. A BizTx/BizTx Group resource can be used to create or edit items like a BizTx Group, tree, and message.
Multi-Binding	Multi-Binding router rule is an AnyLink service that calls a multi-binding rule through the adapter’s parsing rule. Multiple services are combined into a single group when different routing method is used for each internal service type in AnyLink.
Outbound Rule	AnyLink calls an external system through an internal service, and receives the result. If an outbound rule service is called from an external component, a message is sent to the external system by using the adapter and endpoint configured in the rule.
WSDL	Web Services Description Language (hereafter WSDL) is an XML-based interface definition language that is used to define network service interface using endpoints for exchanging messages. An operation and message are defined abstractly, and an endpoint interface is described by binding a network protocol with message format. WSDL is not restricted to a specific message format and network protocol. It can be used to describe various types of network interfaces.
External Mapping	Defines data object mapping between messages.
Flow	Service flow expresses process flow through a diagram that is derived from the standard BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation). A diagram consists of activities and events, and is defined with process flows, variables, expressions, mappings, etc. A service flow shows the service execution process in a graphical form.
User Class/Handler	Flow defines a condition to implement a control flow. A condition is defined as a single conditional expression using process variables. Define a user class activity or handler for a more complex logic that cannot be defined with a simple expression.
Message	Message is a basic abstract data unit that is exchanged between services.
Common BizTx/BizTx Group Project	A set of resources that can be used in projects assigned to the same business system.

Project

Description

Project

To create a service flow diagram, first create a project in the workspace.

AnyLink project is created for managing AnyLink resources. The resources in the project can reference one another and form relationships, and are grouped into a package.

BizTx/BizTx Group

BizTx is a business service provided by AnyLink.

It includes a series of tasks that involve receiving a client request, forwarding it to a backend service, and returning the result in a response message. A BizTx/BizTx Group resource can be used to create or edit items like a BizTx Group, tree, and message.

Multi-Binding

Multi-Binding router rule is an AnyLink service that calls a multi-binding rule through the adapter’s parsing rule.

Multiple services are combined into a single group when different routing method is used for each internal service type in AnyLink.

Outbound Rule

AnyLink calls an external system through an internal service, and receives the result.

If an outbound rule service is called from an external component, a message is sent to the external system by using the adapter and endpoint configured in the rule.

WSDL

Web Services Description Language (hereafter WSDL) is an XML-based interface definition language that is used to define network service interface using endpoints for exchanging messages.

An operation and message are defined abstractly, and an endpoint interface is described by binding a network protocol with message format. WSDL is not restricted to a specific message format and network protocol. It can be used to describe various types of network interfaces.

External Mapping

Defines data object mapping between messages.

Flow

Service flow expresses process flow through a diagram that is derived from the standard BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation).

A diagram consists of activities and events, and is defined with process flows, variables, expressions, mappings, etc. A service flow shows the service execution process in a graphical form.

User Class/Handler

Flow defines a condition to implement a control flow. A condition is defined as a single conditional expression using process variables. Define a user class activity or handler for a more complex logic that cannot be defined with a simple expression.

Message

Message is a basic abstract data unit that is exchanged between services.

Common BizTx/BizTx Group Project

A set of resources that can be used in projects assigned to the same business system.
