Is it possible to call an API Flow from within a Data Flow?

I have created a useful API Flow in Connect --> API Flows.

I can see that custom API in the ION API Gateway under Available APIs --> Infor API Flows.

I tested the call using the Swagger documentation and it works as I expected.

Now I am creating a Data Flow and I'd like to use that API in the Data Flow, but I can't see a way to select it.

I add my ION API activity to the data flow, but when I go to define the properties, the first step is to choose the "Product" for the API Suite.

"Infor API Flows" is not in the drop-down of available products, so I am unable to choose the newly created API.

How can I leverage an API Flow within a Data Flow?

Shannon,

it should bethere... if it isn't showing up you might try refreshing the metadata in API Gateway. After that completes try the api connection point again. - you may need to use refresh (F5) before it shows up.

Shannon,

As David mentioned you need to do a ION API Metadata refresh after a API Flow is created and Activated. This step is needed to show up in the ION API Connection point --> Product.

The refresh is triggered on API activation or de-activation and should be relatively automatic and timely.

If you are getting a different experience, please open a support ticket to investigate. Thanks

The manual metadata refresh fixed the problem, maybe it would have eventually showed up, but it wasn't "timely". I had been playing with it for hours before I created this question and it didn't show up until after the manual metadata refresh completed. I'll open an incident. Thanks!
