Map a Port

When you map a port to a node in the SOAP message, the Developer tool provides different results based on the type of node to which you map the port.

The following table describes the results when you map a single port to different target nodes in the

Operation

area:

Target Node	Results
Atomic node	When you map a single port to a node and the parent node does not have a location, the node receives the location of the port. The parent node location receives the location of the input group for the single port. When you map a single port to a node and the parent node already has a location, you can change the location for the parent node and clear the location for the other child nodes in the same level. The hierarchy level location changes to the group name of the port.
Multiple-occurring atomic node or the primary key of the multiple-occurring atomic node	When you map a single port to the multiple-occurring atomic node, the Developer tool sets the location for the atomic node to the group of the selected port.
Complex node	When you map a single port to a complex node, the Developer tool sets the location of the complex node to the location of the group that contains the port. The Developer tool prompts you for the single occurring atomic node to assign the port to. If all single-occurring atomic nodes have a location, you cannot map the complex node.
