Diagram (Data Flow)

Here you can create new diagrams. There are two ways to do this.

Creating a Diagram Automatically


Here you only need to add an element, e.g. a profile, see (1) and (2). Starting with this profile, a diagram of the complete profile chain (including ASM entries, Content Inspection entries, etc.) is automatically created for you. The following screenshot shows an example of the profile named Profile_1. If a profile is inactive or no longer valid, it will be displayed as Profile_2. If a profile used in the diagram can no longer be found, e.g. because it has been deleted in the meantime, it is displayed in red. Note: If one of the profiles in the profile chain uses a variable in a Response Route of type Message to specify the profile to be triggered (this can be the case especially for dispatcher profiles), this Response Route is represented as an endpoint in the diagram. See the symbol for @var__TARGET_PROFILE@ in the screenshot below.

Information about Element


If you select any element (4) in the diagram ( only possible via left click) , its details will be displayed on the left (5).

Create a Diagram from Scratch Manually


In this case, you create completely new elements in the right window via the context menu, see (3). So if you create a new profile there and generate a Response Route in it, this profile will actually be created like this. The same applies to other components in the diagram.

Note on Saving


If you create a new element (e.g. a new profile to be created, an ASM entry, etc.), then this is saved immediately (and is then available as a new profile, for example). However, if you create a connection from a profile existing in the diagram to another profile (via message), then the message Response Route is not entered in the profile until you save the Data Flow diagram.
