Mapping Input Ports to the Operation Input

When you show the transformation input mapping, you can define input groups, define input ports, and map input ports to operation input nodes.

Open a Web Service Consumer transformation.

To show the transformation input mapping, use one of the following methods:

For a reusable transformation, click the

Overview

view. Choose to show the input mapping.

For a non-reusable transformation, click the

Ports

tab in the

Properties

view. Choose to show the input mapping.

Define a primary key for the root input group.

To add an input group or port to the

Ports

area, use one of the following methods:

Option	Description
Drag a node	Drag a group node or a child node in the Operation Input area to an empty column in the Ports area. If the node is a group node, the Developer tool adds a group without ports.
Manually add a group or port	To add a group, click the arrow next to the New button and then click Group . To add a port, click the arrow next to the New button and then click Field .
Drag a port from another transformation	In the editor, drag a port from another transformation to the Web Service Consumer transformation.
Copy a port	Select ports from another transformation and copy them to the Ports area. To copy ports, you can use keyboard shortcuts or you can use the copy and paste buttons in the Developer tool.
Select Map first level of hierarchy	Select Map first level of hierarchy . The Developer tool maps nodes in the first level of the operation input to input ports and groups. The Developer tool also creates the input ports and groups to perform the mapping.

If you manually create a port or you copy a port from another transformation, click the

Location

column in the

Operation Input

area and choose a port from the list.

To map input ports as a composite key, use one of the following methods:

Option	Description
Drag input ports	Select two or more input ports and drag them to a key in the operation input hierarchy.
Select input ports from the Select Location dialog box	Click the Location column of a key in the operation input hierarchy and then select the input ports.

To clear the locations of nodes, use one of the following methods:

Option	Description
Click Clear	Select one or more nodes in the Operation Input area and click Clear .
Delete the lines that connect ports to nodes	Select one or more lines that connect the input ports to the nodes in the operation input and press Delete .

If the associated WSDL data object includes anyType elements, any elements, anyAttribute attributes, derived type elements, or substitution groups, choose objects in the

Operation Input

area. In the

Type

column for a node, click

Choose

and then choose one or more types, elements, or attributes from the list.
