A custom step can also be added to a business flow using a customization.xml file. In the XML file, the following information is specified for a custom step:
- The two applications associated with the integration
- The objects and fields used by the custom step
- The field mapping templates associated with the custom step
Since the customization.xml file can be directly imported from the Gateway user interface, such custom steps are referred to as internal Java custom steps.
Note: When you use an internal custom step, it is critical to ensure you do not disrupt other existing flow steps.
To create an internal Java custom step:
- Create a customization.xml file with one or more custom steps in Java.
You can also download a sample customization XML file to use as a template for creating custom steps from: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/F12018_01/customization_XML/customization.zip
- To deploy the custom steps into Gateway, see the on-premises instructions for Deploying a Customization in theGateway Customization Guide.to make it available within the business flow wizard.
- Add a business flow or edit an existing business flow to include the created custom steps. For more details, see Adding Business Flows.
