Input

The input tree displayed for this activity depends on the object that you have selected on the Configuration tab. You can enter the input manually. Alternatively, if the preceding activity has an output, you can map the input to the output from a preceding activity.

Output

The Output tab displays the output schema of the activity in a tree structure format. The output is read only. The information in the schema varies based on the fields selected on the Configuration tab. The properties that are displayed in the schema correspond to the output of this activity and can be used as input by subsequent activities in the flow. The Output tab has the following fields:
Field Description
Message Message is a success response received from kinesis service along with Stream details.
Error Error contains error code, status code, requestId, and error message received from kinesis service.

Loop

If you want this activity to iterate multiple times within the flow, enter an expression that evaluates to the iteration details. Select a type of iteration from the Type menu. The default type is None, which means the activity does not iterate. For more information, refer to the "Using the Loop Feature in an Activity" topic in the TIBCO Flogo® Enterprise documentation.
