uCosminexus Application Server Overview
A service platform has a standard data structure (message format) for accepting requests for executing service components. The structure is called a message. However, just as there are various types of service components, there are various types of data structures (message formats) that the service components request. This means that the data structure requested by a service component may differ from that of the message.
In these cases, the data transformation functionality reconciles the differences between the data structure of the message and the data structure requested by the service component.
The data transformation functionality defines how data items with different structures are to be mutually transformed. The system uses such definitions to resolve differences automatically between data structures when service component execution is requested, thus allowing the operator to request for executing service components that have a variety of data structures.
