After you create the web service source and target definitions, create the mapping to determine how the Integration Service handles the data received in the web service request and send out the web service response. A web service mapping receives the input message as a SOAP request, transforms the data, and sends the output message as a SOAP response.

You can create a web service mapping in the Mapping Designer in the same way you create other PowerCenter mappings. Add the web service source and target definitions and transformations to the mapping.

You can also generate a mapping that includes the web service source definition, Source Qualifier transformation, and web service target definition. The PowerCenter Designer provides several ways to generate a web service mapping.

You can generate a web service mapping in the following ways:

After you generate the mapping, you can add more transformations, links, and any other mapping objects you require to complete the web service mapping.
