Overview

In this course, you learn how to construct message flow applications to transport and transform data. You learn how to process file data and develop REST APIs. The course also explores how to control the flow of data by using various processing nodes, and how to import, build, and test message flow applications. You learn how to test your message flows by using the Flow Exerciser, Message Flow Debugger, and Trace nodes.
