You can use custom template if you want a customised process flow for your complex transactions. In other type of templates you can only use pre-bundled process flow with a one source and one destination. However, custom template gives you the flexibility to:
- Create a process flow with
- Multi source - single destination
- Multi source - multi destination
- Single source - multi destination
- Insert a web services in a process flow
A Process Flow may have following activities - Data Security (Encryption and Decryption), Miscellaneous (Mail Notification and Stored procedure), Extensions (Native Call and Custom Plugin), Source and Target activities, Source and Target layout and schema, Data mapping, Web Services, and Polling.
