The connectors and components that are available with Actian DataConnect cover nearly all use cases. However, you may want to build your own custom component to simplify connectivity to a frequently used API, create your own specific data transformation component, invoke a third-party library, or any other specific functionality. The Message Component Framework (MCF) provides a standardized Java interface to create your own plug-ins and use them within a Process workflow.

The MCF SDK samples repository (including the Message Component Framework Programmer's Reference Manual) is available on GitHub®.
