Continuous>Flows

The architecture of Continuous>Flows comprises several key components designed for efficient transaction processing. The Flow Designer is a graphical interface used to create and configure data flows. The Execution Engine is responsible for processing transactions in real-time, and the Monitoring Console provides real-time insights into flow performance.

These components communicate using internal protocols optimized for high-throughput data transfer. The system uses various databases and storage mechanisms to persist transaction data and configuration information. The specific databases used depend on the deployment environment.

Network requirements include open ports for communication between the components and external systems. The CLI provides commands such as `CF_CREATE_FLOW`, `CF_DEPLOY_FLOW`, and `CF_STATUS_FLOW` for managing flows. Configuration files are used to define connections, security parameters, and other system settings.

Continuous>Flows distinguishes itself from competitors through its focus on real-time transaction processing and its integration capabilities with mainframe environments like CICS.
