Call a Web Service¶
An operation that calls a SOAP web service consists of two transformations:
-
The first transforms data into a web service request.
-
The second transforms data from a web service response to a target system.
Follow these steps to define a new operation:
-
Choose Web Service Call from the Activity dropdown list.
-
Select a pre-defined web service from the Web Service drop-down list, or click the control button to the right of the field to create a new web service.
-
Select an existing source from the Source drop-down list, or click the control button to the right of the field to create a new source.
-
Select a pre-defined request transformation (which transforms data from your source to the web service) from the Request Transformation drop-down menu, or click the control button to the right of the field to create a new request transformation.
-
Select a pre-defined response transformation (which is used to transform data from the web service's response to your target) from the Response Transformation drop-down list, or click the control button to the right of the field to create a new response transformation.
-
Select an existing target from the Target drop-down menu, or click the control button to the right of the field to create a new target.
