About this task

Before you execute a response processor for a subflow, you must create a subflow, attach the subflow to a resource block operation step, and then generate the catalog. To return a response from the subflow to the Cloud Provisioning and Governance application, the subflow must create a record in the sn_cmp_flow_result table with the appropriate details as follows.

 flow_type           : 'sys_flow_context'
 flow_correlation_id : flowcorrelationid (This variable must be present in the Resource Block as mentioned here Add a resource operation step to invoke a subflow.
 flow_output         : String that will be processed by Response Processor
 flow_error          : Error string if there is any error
 error_detail        : Error detail string if there is any error
