Mapping the Operation Output to Output Ports

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

Open a Web Service Consumer transformation.

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

For a reusable transformation, click the

Overview

view. Choose to show the output mapping.

For a non-reusable transformation, click the

Ports

tab in the

Properties

view. Choose to show the output mapping.

To add an output group or port to the

Ports

area, use one of the following methods:

Drag a port from another transformation	In the editor, drag a port from another transformation to the Web Service Consumer transformation.

Select Map first level of hierarchy	Select Map first level of hierarchy . The Developer tool maps nodes in the first level of the operation output to output ports and groups. The Developer tool also creates the output ports and groups to perform the mapping.
