This blog post contains information about Orchestration Component Types in the Conscia Digital Experience Engine (DX Engine), which is part of the Conscia’s SaaS Digital Experience Orchestration (DXO) offering. If you have information or questions about Component Types, please comment on this blog post. This blog post is part of a series All about the Conscia DX Engine.

Orchestration Components represent individual functions in an orchestration flow. One Component might invoke a Webservice API and another in the same flow might transform its JSON response before a third Component uses that data.

When you create a Component, you must select a Component Type.

The Type of a Component controls the user interface for defining properties of the Component and how the DX Engine invokes that Component. The DX Engine includes the following Component Types.

Conscia – Data Transformation Script

Data Transformation Script Components invoke arbitrary JavaScript that you define.

Conscia – JSON Expression Reformatter

Conscia – Metadata

Generates a JSON response that contains key-value pairs specified by the Component.

Conscia – Object Mapper
