Check IRD commands
Procedural
When a procedural logic is required these set of commands can be used. Procedural logic is like:
- Accessing the object’s value and properties
- Calling a method
- Conditions e.g. If-ElseIf-Then logic
- Iterations e.g. While, Loop…
- Inter-link execution
Check Procedural commands
Flow
If orchestration of logic execution is required, Flow can be used. You can express the orchestration to execute multiple different types of logic. It can be used as a Decision flow, Procedure flow, … or mix of all of the available logic types.
Check Flow commands
Workflow
This is a specific type of Flow that can handle long-running business transactions. It supports hydrate, dehydrates and persistent store out-of-the-box.
Check Workflow commands
Notification
These commands can be used to send feedback to executing application during the logic execution.
Check Notification commands
