Configuration

Data Exchange Framework uses Sitecore items to configure synchronization processes.

It is important to note that while a synchronization process is configured using Sitecore items, that does not mean the synchronization process must run on the Sitecore server. In fact, Data Exchange Framework was designed so that the synchronization process can run outside of the Sitecore server.

Data Exchange Framework includes components that are responsible for reading the configuration from Sitecore and converting that configuration into components from the framework, such as pipelines, pipeline steps, value readers, etc.

Configuration involves the following components:

• Converter
• Item Model Repository
• Pipeline Batch Repository
• Plugin
• Provider
• Tenant
