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 is activated 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 is then processed in a connection.

There are two types of endpoints:

  • 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.
