When you show the ports, you can manually add groups and ports or you can copy ports from other transformations into the Output transformation. You can use keyboard shortcuts or you can use the copy and the paste buttons in the Developer tool.

When you show the output mapping, you can define input groups, define input ports, and map input ports to operation output hierarchy. The left side of the tab is the

Ports

area and the right side of the tab is the

Operation Output

area. The

Operation Output

area shows the SOAP response message hierarchy. You can define input groups and input ports in the

Ports

area. When you map the input ports from the

Ports

area to nodes in the

Operation Output

area, the input port location appears in the

Location

column in the Operation Output area.

The Developer tool maps input ports to nodes in the first level of the operation output when you choose to map the first level of the hierarchy. The Developer tool also creates the input ports that it requires to map the data. If the first level of the hierarchy contains a multi-occurring parent node with one or more multi-occurring child nodes, the Developer tool does not create the ports or map the first level of the hierarchy.

When you show the output mapping, you can choose to view the lines that connect the input ports to the nodes in the operation input.
