How does AMI transform messages?

The transformation of messages in the Avaloq Message Interface (AMI) occurs primarily through the conversion between different types of data, particularly orders. This involves taking messages as input, processing them, and then generating output that could represent a different format or structure tailored to the needs of the system or the communication protocol being used. Orders represent a key component in financial transactions and processing, making their conversion vital for ensuring that the data is communicated effectively between different systems or departments.

The use of orders as a basis for transformation highlights AMI's focus on handling complex financial processes and ensuring that data integrity is maintained throughout the messaging process. By handling orders specifically, AMI can manage the nuances of financial operations, which may include various states, statuses, and other intricate details that are crucial to accurate message translation and processing.

In contrast, the other methods mentioned would not align with how AMI is specifically designed to function. For example, database scripts and web services may facilitate interaction with data or external systems but do not inherently denote the transformation of messages from one format to another in the specific manner that AMI does with orders. Manual entry is less efficient and prone to errors, making it unsuitable for systematic message transformation within AMI. Thus, the correct choice reflects AMI
