What this feature does

The Get Start and End Points feature analyses the objects currently on the canvas and finds:

  • The start point: the object that starts the flow (for example, a REST endpoint or a JSP page).
  • The end point: the object that ends the flow (for example, a SQL table or an external service call).

This is useful when you have added several objects to the canvas manually and want to understand the boundaries of the flow they form.

Use the feature

In the Investigation panel or toolbar, click Get Start and End Points.

[TODO: Screenshot showing where the button is]

The start and end points are highlighted with coloured markers on the canvas.

Difference from Transaction start and end points

In the Transaction scope, start and end points are identified automatically as part of the transaction definition. The Get Start and End Points feature works on any set of objects, not only transactions.
