Generating a Mapping from a Reusable Transformation

Generating a Mapping from a Reusable Transformation

The following table describes the types of transformation from which you can generate a web service mapping:
Transformation

Passive

HTTP

Java
Active or passive
One input and one output
Lookup

SQL

The transformation you use to generate a web service mapping must be a reusable transformation. When you generate a web service mapping based on a transformation, the Designer lists the reusable transformations and shortcuts to reusable transformations available in the folder.
When you generate a web service mapping from a transformation, the Designer uses the ports in the transformation to define the columns for the source and target definitions. It then creates a mapping that contains a source with XML views that reflect the transformation input ports and a target definition with XML views that reflect the transformation output ports.
The web service mapping generated from a transformation contains the following objects:
  • Web service source definition
  • Source qualifier
  • Transformation used to generate the mapping
  • Web service target definition
The Designer links the ports from the source instance through the target instance.
