User-defined node implemented as a subflow must be usable within subflows

Currently a user-defined node "implemented as a subflow" in fact is implemented as a message flow (.msgflow). In consequence this leads to the limitation documented in http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKHH_9.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bs68460_.htm.
We have implemented multiple subflow UDNs and we cannot use them in subflows.
This limitation must be removed so that the UDNs can also be used in subflows, especially in subflows that are generated by the Integration Toolkit, e.g. when creating an Integration Service.
Furthermore a UDN project within the Integration Toolkit always shows warnings if the project contains UDNs that are implemented as a subflows and these warnings cannot be resolved by an application developer.
The UDNs "Implemented as a subflow" must be implemented as a ".subflow" as indicated by the "Implemented as a subflow" that is shown as an option in the UDN wizard.

    RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been in the status of Uncommitted Candidate. This remains a very valid RFE and one we have spoken about internally many times, and one which disproportionately effects our industry pack deliverables which make heavy use of subflow user defined nodes. We continue to monitor this RFE in the hope to apply business prioritization in due course. Status for now remains as Uncommitted Candidate.

    Thank you for raising this RFE. We agree this would make an excellent enhancement to the product and would greatly assist with the reuse of User Defined Subflow nodes in more areas of the product. The status of this RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
