sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze: OmniStudio Cross-Component Analysis Skill

sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze: OmniStudio Cross-Component Analysis

Expert OmniStudio analyst specializing in namespace detection, dependency mapping, and impact analysis across the full OmniStudio component suite. Perform org-wide inventory of OmniScripts, FlexCards, Integration Procedures, and Data Mappers with automated dependency graph construction and Mermaid visualization.

Core Responsibilities

Namespace Detection: Identify whether an org uses Core (Industries), vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy), or vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health) namespace
Dependency Analysis: Build directed graphs of cross-component dependencies using BFS traversal with circular reference detection
Impact Analysis: Determine which components are affected when a given OmniScript, IP, FlexCard, or Data Mapper changes
Mermaid Visualization: Generate dependency diagrams in Mermaid syntax for documentation and review
Org-Wide Inventory: Catalog all OmniStudio components by type, status, language, and version

CRITICAL: Orchestration Order

When multiple OmniStudio skills are involved, follow this dependency chain:

sf-industry-commoncore-omnistudio-analyze → sf-industry-commoncore-datamapper → sf-industry-commoncore-integration-procedure → sf-industry-commoncore-omniscript → sf-industry-commoncore-flexcard

This skill runs first to establish namespace context and dependency maps that downstream skills consume.

Key Insights

| Insight | Detail | |---------|--------| | Three namespaces coexist | Core (OmniProcess), vlocity_cmt (vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c), vlocity_ins (vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c) | | Dependencies are stored in JSON | PropertySetConfig (elements), Definition (FlexCards), InputObjectName/OutputObjectName (Data Mappers) | | Circular references are possible | OmniScript A → IP B → OmniScript A via embedded call | | FlexCard data sources are typed | dataSource.type === 'IntegrationProcedures' (plural) in DataSourceConfig JSON | | Active vs Draft matters | Only active components participate in runtime dependency chains |

Workflow (4-Phase Pattern)

Phase 1: Namespace Detection

Purpose: Determine which OmniStudio namespace the org uses before querying any component metadata.

Detection Algorithm — Probe objects in order until a successful COUNT() returns:

Core (Industries namespace):
```
SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess
```
If this succeeds, the org uses the Core namespace (API 234.0+ / Spring '22+).

vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy):

SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c

vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health):

SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c

If none succeed, OmniStudio is not installed in the org.

CLI Commands for namespace detection:

# Core namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_cmt namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_ins namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

Evaluate results: A successful query (exit code 0 with totalSize in JSON) confirms the namespace. A query failure (INVALID_TYPE or sObject type not found) means that namespace is not present.

See: references/namespace-guide.md for complete object/field mapping across all three namespaces.

Phase 2: Component Discovery

Purpose: Build an inventory of all OmniStudio components in the org.

Using the detected namespace, query each component type:

OmniScripts (Core example):

SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC

Integration Procedures (Core example):

SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = true
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC

FlexCards (Core example):

SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, DataSourceConfig, PropertySetConfig,
       AuthorName, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniUiCard
ORDER BY Name

IMPORTANT: The OmniUiCard object does NOT have a Definition field. Use DataSourceConfig for data source bindings and PropertySetConfig for card layout/states configuration.

Data Mappers (Core example):

SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, Type, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniDataTransform
ORDER BY Name

Data Mapper Items (for object dependency extraction):

SELECT Id, OmniDataTransformationId, InputObjectName, OutputObjectName,
       InputObjectQuerySequence
FROM OmniDataTransformItem
WHERE OmniDataTransformationId IN ({datamapper_ids})

IMPORTANT: The foreign key field is OmniDataTransformationId (full word "Transformation"), NOT OmniDataTransformId.

CLI Command pattern:

sf data query --query "SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive FROM OmniProcess WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false" \
  --target-org myorg --json

Phase 3: Dependency Analysis

Purpose: Parse component metadata to build a directed dependency graph.

Algorithm: BFS with Circular Detection

1. Initialize empty graph G and visited set V
2. For each root component C:
   a. Enqueue C into work queue Q
   b. While Q is not empty:
      i.   Dequeue component X from Q
      ii.  If X is in V, record circular reference and skip
      iii. Add X to V
      iv.  Parse X's metadata for dependency references
      v.   For each dependency D found:
           - Add edge X → D to graph G
           - If D is not in V, enqueue D into Q
3. Return graph G and any circular references detected

Element Type → Dependency Extraction

OmniScript and IP elements store references in the PropertySetConfig JSON field. Parse each element to extract dependencies:

| Element Type | JSON Path in PropertySetConfig | Dependency Target | |-------------|-------------------------------|-------------------| | DataRaptor Transform Action | bundle, bundleName | Data Mapper (by name) | | DataRaptor Turbo Action | bundle, bundleName | Data Mapper (by name) | | Remote Action | remoteClass, remoteMethod | Apex Class.Method | | Integration Procedure Action | integrationProcedureKey | IP (Type_SubType) | | OmniScript Action | omniScriptKey or Type/SubType | OmniScript (Type_SubType) | | HTTP Action | httpUrl, httpMethod | External endpoint (URL) | | DocuSign Envelope Action | docuSignTemplateId | DocuSign template | | Apex Remote Action | remoteClass | Apex Class |

Parsing PropertySetConfig:

For each OmniProcessElement:
  1. Read PropertySetConfig (JSON string)
  2. Parse JSON
  3. Check element.Type against extraction table
  4. Extract referenced component name/key
  5. Resolve reference to an OmniProcess/OmniDataTransform record
  6. Add edge: parent component → referenced component

FlexCard Data Source Parsing

FlexCards store their data source configuration in the DataSourceConfig JSON field (NOT Definition — that field does not exist on OmniUiCard):

Parse DataSourceConfig JSON:
  1. Access dataSource object (singular, not array)
  2. For each dataSource where type === 'IntegrationProcedures' (note: PLURAL):
     - Extract dataSource.value.ipMethod (IP Type_SubType)
     - Add edge: FlexCard → Integration Procedure
  3. For each dataSource where type === 'ApexRemote':
     - Extract dataSource.value.className
     - Add edge: FlexCard → Apex Class
  4. For childCard references, parse PropertySetConfig:
     - Add edge: FlexCard → child FlexCard

IMPORTANT: The data source type for IPs is IntegrationProcedures (plural with capital P), not IntegrationProcedure.

Data Mapper Object Dependencies

Data Mappers reference Salesforce objects via their items:

For each OmniDataTransformItem:
  1. Read InputObjectName → source sObject
  2. Read OutputObjectName → target sObject
  3. Add edge: Data Mapper → sObject (read from InputObjectName)
  4. Add edge: Data Mapper → sObject (write to OutputObjectName)

See: references/dependency-patterns.md for complete dependency extraction rules and examples.

Phase 4: Visualization & Reporting

Purpose: Generate human-readable output from the dependency graph.

Edge Cases

| Scenario | Handling | |----------|---------| | Mixed namespace org (migration in progress) | Probe all three namespaces; report if multiple return results. Components may exist under both old and migrated namespaces. | | Inactive components with dependencies | Include in dependency graph but mark as inactive. Warn if active component depends on inactive one. | | Large orgs (1000+ components) | Use SOQL pagination (LIMIT/OFFSET or queryMore). Process in batches of 200. | | PropertySetConfig exceeds SOQL field length | Use Tooling API or REST API to fetch full JSON body for elements with truncated config. | | Circular dependency detected | Log the cycle path (A → B → C → A), mark all participating edges, continue traversal for remaining branches. | | Components referencing deleted items | Record as "broken reference" in output. Flag for cleanup. | | Version conflicts (multiple active versions) | Only the highest active version number participates in runtime. Warn if lower versions have unique dependencies. |

Notes

Dependencies: Requires sf CLI with org authentication. Optional: sf-diagram-mermaid for styled visualization.
Namespace must be detected first: All downstream queries depend on knowing the correct object and field API names.
PropertySetConfig is the key: Nearly all dependency information lives in this JSON field on OmniProcessElement records.
DataSourceConfig for FlexCards: Data sources are in DataSourceConfig, NOT a Definition field (which does not exist on OmniUiCard). Card layout/states are in PropertySetConfig.
Data Mapper items contain object references: InputObjectName and OutputObjectName on OmniDataTransformItem records reveal which sObjects a Data Mapper reads from and writes to. The foreign key to the parent is OmniDataTransformationId (full "Transformation").
IsIntegrationProcedure is the discriminator: OmniProcess uses a boolean IsIntegrationProcedure field, not a TypeCategory field (which does not exist). The OmniProcessType picklist is computed from this boolean and is useful for filtering reads but cannot be set directly on create.
sf data create record limitations: The --values flag cannot handle JSON strings in textarea fields (e.g., PropertySetConfig). Use sf api request rest --method POST --body @file.json instead for records with JSON configuration.
