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.
