Function (Function Component - FC)
A Function can be thought of as a simplified Connector. There is no Mode setting, only a single call-reply behavior. Just like for CallReply Mode for Connectors, an FC has both an Input and Output Map. Functions share these characteristics:- Provide an RPC-like callout to a service or system:
- Another AssemblyLine (local or remote Server)
- A component (e.g. Parser, MemQ?, ...)
- A service or API (web services, application, ...)
- Clicks into an AssemblyLine (Flow Section)
- Interchangeable Function Interface -- like the ParserFC?, AssemblyLineFC?, web service FCs, ...
- Scriptable (Script Function)
- Supports inheritance
- Have a Library Folder in the Config Browser
