The Published Inputs and Published Outputs Units are different from other Units. They can be seen as the "interface" which can be accessed by other Workflows (or Applications). Each Workflow has exactly one Published Inputs and one Published Outputs Unit. They are initially empty. This screenshot shows an example of Published Inputs and Published Outputs.

Adding a Published Input

Note

The following procedures are the same for Published Inputs and Published Outputs.

  1. Go to the Workflow View.
  2. Look for the Published Inputs Unit.

  1. On the desired Unit, draw a cable (as explained in chapter → Cables) from the Input Port you want to add as a Published Input. In the screenshot on the left this is the String Input Port.
  2. Hover the Cable over the Published Inputs Unit.
  3. Single click to release the Cable.
  4. A new Published Input will be created on the Published Input Unit.

Result

  • The Published Input has been created for the String Input Port.
  • Note that the Published Input has the same Name and Data Type as the originating Input Port.

...

  1. Go to the Workflow View.

Changing the type of a Published Input is not possible. You have to remove the respective Input Port first and then add a new one.
