Creating and Using a Launch Configuration

Launch Configurations need not be explicitly saved. They persist even after you exit Flogo Enterprise and log back in later.

Creating your first Launch Configuration

To create the very first Launch Configuration in a flow:

    Procedure
  1. On the flow details page, click Test.

    You can either start a new Launch Configuration by clicking Create a Launch Configuration or use an existing Launch Configuration that you had exported from another flow by clicking Import a Launch Configuration.

  2. Click Create a Launch Configuration.

    The Flow Tester opens with the left pane displaying the Launch Configuration name. By default, a new Launch Configuration is named "Launch Configuration x" where x stands for a number. For example, since this is the first Launch Configuration that you are creating, the name of the Launch Configuration displays as Launch Configuration 1. The next Launch Configuration you create is named Launch Configuration 2. You can edit the name in the right pane. The right pane opens the mapper which displays the flow input tree.

  3. Optionally, enter a meaningful string to replace the default name in the Launch Configuration name text box.
  4. Select the log level from the Log Level drop-down menu.
  5. Select Using on-premise services if you want to test apps that connect to on-premise systems.
    Note: Before you select this check box, enable the flogotester service for your organization using the API. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling the TIBCO Flogo® Flow Tester for an Organization with the API.
  6. Enter the values for the elements in the input tree. Refer to Configuring a Launch Configuration for details on entering values.

    Note: If your flow does not require an input, for example, if your flow was created with a Timer trigger that does not have an output (consequently no input to the flow), you can continue testing the flow without using the mapper in the Flow Tester.

  7. Click Next.

    The input values you entered are displayed and validated. If no errors are found you get the message, Input settings are alright.

  8. Click Run to execute the flow with the input data you provided in the step above.

    All the activities in the flow are executed. For details, see What can you do using the Flow Tester?.

  9. Click Stop Testing.
