Data Manipulation Integration Pack for Microsoft System Center Orchestrator
The Kelverion Data Manipulation Integration Pack helps System Center Orchestrator teams turn complex runbook data into usable automation inputs and outputs.
The Data Manipulation Integration Pack sits at the heart of practical Orchestrator automation. It is the enabling layer that helps runbooks reliably move data across systems, formats, and processes. For organisations already using System Center Orchestrator, it removes the friction of handling custom data formats and helps make Orchestrator a stronger integration and transformation platform.
Kelverion positions its Integration Packs as a way to extend and enhance Microsoft System Center Orchestrator with production-ready integrations, visibility, stability and control across automation. The Data Manipulation Integration Pack supports that strategy by making runbooks easier to build, easier to maintain and more adaptable to enterprise data sources.
Typical Automation Scenarios
- Extract values from XML, CSV, JSON, HTML or text returned by monitoring, service management or infrastructure systems
- Transform data from one application format into another before passing it to the next runbook activity
- Compose structured XML, HTML or text payloads for external systems, notifications, tickets or reports
- Convert XML data into JSON, or JSON data into XML, to support integrations between legacy, hybrid and modern systems
- Apply XSLT to convert XML from one schema or structure into another
- Publish parsed values onto the Orchestrator Databus so they can be reused throughout a runbook
Benefits at a Glance
- Reduce Runbook Complexity
Replace repeated custom scripting and one-off objects with configurable data manipulation activities - Accelerate Automation Delivery
Build runbooks faster by using reusable activities for parsing, composing and converting data - Improve Supportability
Standardise how data is transformed so runbooks are easier to understand, troubleshoot and maintain - Increase Reliability
Publish parsed data back to the Orchestrator Databus as individual items for clearer downstream processing - Support Common Enterprise Formats
Work with XML, CSV, JSON, HTML and text-based data used by service desks, monitoring tools, infrastructure platforms and business applications - Extend Existing Orchestrator Investment
Add practical data transformation capabilities without replacing your current automation platform
