Cloud Integration – Content design guidance

Motivation:

Following a standard in content layout design fosters ease of maintenance.

Guidelines:

• Always keep the flow direction from left to right. The sender always comes on the left and the receiver on right.
  
• Try to avoid overlapping sequence flows

  

• Avoid kinks (or confusing twist/turns) in the sequence and message flow connectors – try to keep them as straight as possible.

  

  

• Avoid overlapping process steps – in case you need many process steps, try expanding the canvas and arrange the process steps neatly.

  

• Modularize wherever possible – in case of complex logics, try to break it down into small, easy to understand modules. Move the logic of each module into a sub-process. Name the sub-process appropriately to describe the module’s operation.

  

• Do not mix multiple transformations in a single script or sub-process – one sub-process should only contain the logic for one function.
• Undeploy unwanted and unused flow from your tenant.
• Do not assign the whole XML message to a header or a property unless necessary. Clear it once done.
