BanibrataChatterjee OmniStudio LWC OmniScript Migration
Salesforce is deprecating the Visualforce OmniScript runtime. Orgs must switch each OmniScript to the LWC runtime via the 'Run OmniScripts in LWC' setting and retest. Third-party templates and embedded custom VFs need replacement LWCs. This skill covers inventory, parity testing, and the rollout sequence.
When to Use
Any org still using VF-mode OmniScripts; required by the deprecation timeline.
Typical trigger phrases that should route to this skill: omniscript lwc migration, visualforce omniscript deprecated, switch omniscript to lwc, omni run lwc mode.
Recommended Workflow
- Inventory OmniScripts via OmniScript object query; note Type, Sub-Type, Active version.
- Enable 'Run OmniScripts in LWC' at org level; each OmniScript can still opt out temporarily.
- For each script: activate LWC mode; run QA scenarios; fix any parity gaps (custom VF → LWC rewrite).
- Update embedded scripts: pages that host OmniScripts via
<c-omniscript>LWC instead of VF include. - Deprecation cutover: disable VF mode globally; remove unused assets.
Key Considerations
- Some template types (signature pad, legacy chart) need custom LWC rewrite.
- Styles differ subtly in LWC mode; QA designers carefully.
- LWC runtime is faster but strict about async patterns — some VF-only tricks won't port.
- Performance improves 30–60% in our benchmarks.
Worked Examples (see references/examples.md)
- Phased LWC cutover — 80 OmniScripts
- Custom VF replacement — Signature capture inside script
Common Gotchas (see references/gotchas.md)
- Style drift — Colors off after migration.
- Async timing — Remote action timing different in LWC.
- No opt-out left — Business outage when last VF-only script flips.
Top LLM Anti-Patterns (full list in references/llm-anti-patterns.md)
- Big-bang cutover without QA
- Ignoring deprecation timeline
- Custom VF assets left after migration
