GVOperationNode

Description

A GVOperationNode is an operation node indicating that GreenVulcano^® ESB must perform a communication with an external systems (invocation, sending messages, receiving messages). For example, if the node indicates a receive a message (see attribute op-type), you can also define a DequeueFilter that sets certain conditions that the received message must meet.

VulCon / GV Console Configuration

The GVOperationNode is a Flow element that extends FlowNode. It has the following attributes:

Attribute	Type	Description
class	fixed	This attributes must assume the value it.greenvulcano.gvesb.core.flow.GVOperationNode
op-type	fixed	This attributes must assume the value call,enqueue,dequeue
id-system	required	Identifies the system involved in communication. Can be selected from systems declared as Participant in the Operation section. The attribute value can't be null.
operation-name	required	Identifies the communication operation selected by the channel of the system indicated by the id-system attribute. Only the operations of the type declared in the 'op-type' attribute can be selected. Its value cannot be null.

and the subelements:

• InputServices
• OutputServices
• DequeueFilter

InputServices

Before doing any communication you can run an ordered list of input services.

This section allows the definition of input services for the current communication operation. The current version of GreenVulcano^® ESB provides the following services:
