Component nodes

Component nodes determine how data should be transformed from one format to another.

Define their configuration properties by clicking the node and editing the properties.

Alert
This component allows Alerts to be registered in the Alert console. This is same as invoking alerts from an Action in releases prior to 5.0. You can also consolidate the alerts by grouping the attributes in the YFS_INBOX table.
Application programming interface (API)
The API component is used to invoke the Sterling™ Order Management System Software System APIs or any user-written Java™ class.
Composite service
The Composite Service node allows users to specify multiple services that must be executed as part of a single service. However, services that can be invoked synchronously can only be a part of the Composite Service node.
Condition
This node is invoked synchronously. Conditions allow you to build branching logic within the service.
E-mail
The E-Mail component type wraps the SMTP protocol. It can be invoked synchronously or asynchronously. The configuration allows you to set static From, To, CC and BCC addresses or dynamically retrieve them by specifying an XML path.
Nomenclature runtime component
The Nomenclature Runtime component provides a mapping tool that allows you to configure unique terms you use to match unique terms your trading partners use.
Router
Allows business documents to be routed based on participant preferences. Participants can be configured with different services to enable business documents to be delivered to them. In the scenario modeling, data published to trading partners is marked through a Router.
Text translator
The Text Translator converts flat files to and from XML format, enabling flat-file applications to integrate with Sterling Order Management System Software.
XSL translator
The Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) is used to convert XML documents into other formats, such as HTML, PDF, or another XML document. XSL allows users to manipulate and sort the content of an XML document or transform the content into a different format.
Defaulting component
This component applies defaulting based on configured properties and invokes a class to apply additional overrides. It can also be used to localize data in the XML.
Data security
The data security component enables users to configure an attribute of the XML that is coming in or flowing through the service to be validated against the list of enterprises. This enables you to secure data based on the user groups discussed in Section 4.3 Defining User Groups".
Jasper printer component
This component is used to automatically print a document based on an event. Additionally, you can also generate the PDF or an RTF object of a document. It is a standard XML-based component: accepts XML as input and provides an identical output XML.
