Change Flow Exerciser that Input Nodes could be placed in subflows

We use IIB V10 here at our customer. We build some generic input
flow that combine MQ/HTTP/SOAP Input node with additional components like error handling and security stuff, so the developer just needs to use those sub flowsand all essential components are included. But we recognized a problems, as message flow using those sub flow can not be tested with the flow exerciser. The red button is just grey. There are restrictions on the use of the flow exerciser. That means we could not use the flow exerciser within our project to build our regression test case facility.

    Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been held in Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration status. Whilst this is a known current shortcoming of the Flow Exerciser (which also doesn't support all input node transports), ACEv12 has moved forward the product's capability forward significantly for the wider set of unit testing requirements alluded to by this request. With the ability to model message assembly files (with .mxml file extension), and also inject them into a message flow node with our testing APIs, it would absolutely be possible to exploit these features better in the flow exerciser too. Status is maintained as Future Consideration.

    Thank you for raising this RFE. We would very much like to extend the development artifact coverage of the exerciser in future. Status updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
