Working With Process Flow

A process flow is a set of activities arranged in a sequence to perform a specific task. Combining various activities, that is, Source, Target, Schema, Mapping, or Transformer creates a process flow. A Process Engine controls the execution of a process by starting the execution of process flow instances and all the activities present in a process flow. When the process flow is executed, data from the source is converted to the intermediate form and dispatched to the target.
