Logical Connection Creation subflow
The Logical Connection Creation subflow enables you to create a logical connection record in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application based on the input that you receive when you instantiate an inventory.
You can use the Logical Connection subflow to create a logical connection on your network interface cards.
This subflow also creates the connection elements and associates them to the logical connection.
If you enter a network interface, equipment, physical connection, logical connection, or managed function as a connection element, the Logical Connection Creation subflow creates the corresponding connection element.
Roles and availability
Users with the admin role can add a subflow to a flow and define the configuration details of the flow. This Workflow Studio subflow is available in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application so that you can perform inventory-related data operations.
