Example 2: HTTP Web Service SOAP Request

Managed File Transfer

has the ability to create Web Service SOAP messages by using the Write XML and HTTP(S) Tasks. The Write XML task will be used to create a SOAP XML file with standard SOAP name spaces, Envelope, and Body elements. The HTTP task will use the Post Raw Data element to pass the SOAP XML file into the HTTP request. The HTTP task will then write the SOAP Response Body to an XML file.

Follow the steps below create an HTTP SOAP Request:

From within the Project Designer page, expand the Miscellaneous folder in the Component Library, and then drag the Create Workspace task to the Project Outline.

From within the Project Designer page, expand the Data Translation folder in the Component Library, and then drag the Write XML task to the Project Outline.
