About: Endpoint
An endpoint is a specialized activity for reading from or writing to an external place.
An endpoint is a communication point with the external world. Endpoints are either active or passive. An active endpoint starts manually or with a batch. It requests information from the external system and processes it in a connection. A passive endpoint waits for an external system to post information on it, which the connection then processes.
Two types of endpoints exist:
- Reader endpoints: These endpoints receive or read information from an external system, convert it into a message, and trigger the next activity in the connection.
- Writer endpoints: These endpoints write information to an external system.
