Construct an output data flow using two input data flows a multiplexing rule.
There are the following multiplexing rules:
- 1 to 1 – for every message from the first input data flow it gets only one message from the second input data flow and puts them to the output.
- 1 to many, Many to 1 – for every message from the first input data flow it gets every message from the second input data flow and puts them to the output.
- Streaming mode – puts every message from the first and the second input data flows to the output.

Parameters in GUI
| Parameter | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplexing rule | How to multiplex the input data flows. Available values are:
| 1 to 1 |
| If empty input | Specifies how to multiplex the data if one of input ports produces no data. It can be used for 1 to 1 multiplexing rule. Available values are:
| Fill by empty values |
Parameters in Workflow File
Type: multiplexer

|---|---|---|
| multiplexing-rule | Multiplexing rule | string |
| empty-input-action | If empty input | string |
Input/Output Ports
The Multiplexer has ports but has not slots, because its use the whole data flow.
The element has 2 input port:
Name in GUI: First input data flow
Name in Workflow File: input-data-1
Name in GUI:Second input data flow
Name in Workflow File: input-data-2
The element has 1 output port:
Name in GUI: Multiplexed output data flow
Name in Workflow File: output-data
