Software AG Designer provides a set of Service Development features that you can use to build, edit, and debug services and integration logic. It provides a collection of editors and views in which you can develop the logic and supporting objects (referred to as elements) for an integration solution. It also provides tools for running and debugging the solutions you create.

Designer lets you rapidly construct integration logic with an easy-to-use implementation language called the webMethods flow language. Flow language provides a set of simple but powerful constructs that you use to specify a sequence of actions (steps) that the Integration Server will execute at run time. Designer also has extensive data transformation and mapping capabilities that allow you to quickly drag-and-drop data fields from one step to the next.

Besides providing tools for constructing flow services, Designer provides additional editors and tools for creating various elements that support the execution of an integration solution. For example, you use Designer to create the document types and schemas used for data validation and to define triggers that launch the execution of services when certain messages are received.
