The web service Input transformation and the Web Service Consumer transformation are web service transformations that parse SOAP messages.

To configure a transformation to parse a SOAP message, create output ports in a structure similar to the SOAP message hierarchy. Map the nodes in the SOAP message hierarchy to the ports.

You can configure normalized groups of output ports, denormalized groups, and pivoted groups of ports. When the SOAP message contains derived types, anyType elements, or substitution groups, you can configure different output groups based on what types might occur in the SOAP messsage instance.
