Which statement best describes how VCP inputs and outputs are handled?

• A. It takes inputs as formatted JSON data, uses lookup metrics, algebraic operations, and aggregation operations to calculate new data, and outputs specified data in formatted JSON.
• B. It requires CSV input files.
• C. It returns raw Java objects.
• D. It only handles text strings.

Answer: (A)

VCP is designed to work with JSON payloads, taking inputs as formatted JSON data and producing outputs in JSON after performing calculations. It uses lookup metrics to retrieve values, algebraic operations to compute expressions, and aggregation operations to summarize data, delivering only the specified results in a structured JSON form. CSV inputs, raw Java objects, or plain text strings aren’t how VCP handles data in OmniStudio, so those options don’t fit. The JSON-based input/output approach is what enables easy chaining of data through OmniScript and related processes.
