REST Web Service Consumer Transformation Advanced Properties

Configure properties that help determine how the Data Integration Service processes data for the REST Web Service Consumer transformation.

Configure the following properties on the

Advanced

tab:

Tracing Level: Amount of detail that appears in the log for this transformation. You can choose terse, normal, verbose initialization, or verbose data. Default is normal.
Connection: Identifies the HTTP connection object to connect to the web service. Create and edit the HTTP connection in the Developer tool. When you configure an HTTP connection, configure the base URL, the type of security that the web service requires, and a connection timeout period.

The REST Web Service Consumer transformation connects to a web service using a URL. You can define the URL in the transformation properties or in the HTTP connection.

Configure an HTTP connection in the following circumstances:

You do not use a URL input port.
The web service requires HTTP authentication or SSL certificates.
You want to change the default connection timeout period.
XML Schema Validation: Validates the response message at run time.
Select Error on Invalid XML
or
No Validation
.
Sorted Input: Enables the Data Integration Service to generate output without processing all of the input data. Enable sorted input when the input data is sorted by the keys in the XML input hierarchy.
URL: The base URL for the REST web service. The base URL in the HTTP connection overrides this value.
Format: The format of the web service response. Select
XML
or
JSON
depending on the web service response..
