What is the role of the Formatter in the outgoing message process?

The Formatter plays a crucial role in converting data from one representation to another within the outgoing message process. Specifically, it is responsible for transforming the Internal Message, which is structured according to Avaloq's internal data format, into the External Message that is compliant with the required standards of interfacing with external systems.

This transformation includes formatting the data appropriately, ensuring that all necessary fields are correctly represented and that the output adheres to the specifications dictated by external systems or processes. The Formatter ensures that the data is not only accurately translated but also presented in a way that is understandable and usable by receiving systems or parties.

Other options do not properly describe the primary function of the Formatter within this context. Modifying the data structure refers more to the manipulation or editing of the data itself rather than the translation process. Storing the External Message relates to data retention, which is not the main concern of the Formatter. Calling the Builder pertains to assembling or constructing the message rather than formatting it, highlighting different aspects of message processing that occur within the overall workflow.
