Understanding Data Flows in CIC Gateway

A Data Flow connects two Endpoints--a source Endpoint and a destination Endpoint--and allows data to flow in one direction, from the source Endpoint to the destination Endpoint. In CIC Gateway, Data Flows are used to connect external trading partner Endpoints to back-end Endpoints. 

For some Data Flows, depending on the type of endpoint you select, you can specify additional information about paths or commands. For example, for File System Endpoint, you can click the pencil icon to enter path information directly.
