Subgraph

CloverDX Designer > Component Reference > Job Control > Subgraph

The Subgraph component represents a whole subgraph in parent graph.

Component	Same input metadata	Sorted inputs	Inputs	Outputs	Each to all outputs	Java	CTL	Auto-propagated metadata
Subgraph	–		0-n	0–n		–	–	^[1]
^[1] The component Subgraph can propagate metadata through itself or auto-propagate metadata on its ports. The metadata auto-propagation depends on metadata assigned on edges in the subgraph.

Port type	Number	Required	Description	Metadata
Input	0-n	^[1]	Input of Subgraph	Depends on Subgraph
Output	0-n	^[2]	Output of Subgraph	Depends on Subgraph
^[1] All input ports defined by the SubgraphInput component in corresponding subgraph are required. ^[2] All output ports defined by the SubgraphOutput component in corresponding subgraph are required.

The component Subgraph can propagate metadata through itself or auto-propagate metadata on its ports.

The metadata auto-propagation depends on metadata assigned on edges in the subgraph.

Attribute	Req	Description	Possible values
Subgraph
Input mapping	no	Enables to set up input parameters and dictionaries of subgraph.
Output mapping	no	Enables to set up mapping from dictionaries in a subgraph to dictionaries in a parent graph.
Skip checkConfig	no	Enable to skip checkConfig of subgraph.	Inherited from parent job (default) \| true \| false
Subgraph URL	yes	URL of file with subgraph definition.	E.g. ${SUBGRAPH_DIR}/my-subgraph.sgrf

Subgraph serves for launching subgraphs from a graph. The subgraph functionality is user defined and depends on particular subgraph being used.

For more details about the subgraphs see Part VI, Subgraphs.
