If Miscellaneous Object

Composer migrates the If object to an Expression.

If Object The type of Composer block depends on the condition used in the If block. If the condition or expression can be migrated to Composer, the If object is migrated to a Branching block whose Conditions property will hold the migrated expression. If the condition cannot be migrated to Orchestration, a Generic State block is created which will have to be manually filled in. Semi-Auto Migration will parse any functions/ expressions and form an approximate Orchestration equivalent. Some instances will need manual changes.

Assign Miscellaneous Object

Composer migrates the Assign object to an Assign block.

Assign Object Expression. If the expression is valid, the Assign object is migrated to an Assign block else a Generic State block. Semi-Auto Migration will parse any functions/ expressions and form an approximate Orchestration equivalent. Some instances will need manual changes. These are typically functions that are now exposed as SCXML tags or  tag attributes in Orchestration. Such cases cannot be migrated to ECMAScript functions alone and require a combination of functions and other blocks.

Function Miscellaneous Object

Composer migrates the Function object to ECMAScript.

Macro Miscellaneous Object

Composer migrates the Macro object to ECMAScript.

Macro Object ECMAScript Manual This object is converted to an ECMAScript block but the user is expected to fill in the equivalent ECMAScript code.

Error Segmentation Miscellaneous Object

Composer migrates the Error Segmentation object as block exception ports.

IRD Source Element Composer Target Element Transformation Comments
Error Segmentation Object Composer block exception ports Manual Error Segmentation is not supported as the Orchestration platform does not support the same error codes as IRD did. Therefore, this object needs to be migrated manually.

Call Subroutine Object

Composer migrates the Call Routine object to a Subroutine block.
