Local Integration Process vs ProcessDirect

[AGA82]

Dear All,

While reviewing the main iFlow, I identified a portion that could be separated into a reusable set of steps. This led me to consider two scenarios:

1. Integrating those steps into a local integration process and invoking it repeatedly from the main iFlow.

2. Creating a distinct ProcessDirect iFlow and invoking it from the main iFlow.

Since there's only one iFlow requiring this functionality, both options are viable. However, I'm seeking guidance on which option would be more efficient in terms of performance.

Hi Abraham, I agree with Morten, just like to add that a decision criteria may also be the different exception handling behaviour of a local process vs ProcessDirect, see examples in the integration flow design guidelines:

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the reply. Yes. I agree with both of you. It is very helpful.
