When you import a web service source or target from a WSDL, you can specify the length of fields with undefined length and the naming convention for the XML columns.

The following table shows the advanced options you can set when you import a web service source or target from a WSDL:

Option	Description
Override all infinite lengths	You can specify a default length for fields with undefined lengths, such as strings. By default, this option is selected.
Generate names for XML columns	You can choose to name XML columns with a sequence of numbers or with the element or attribute name from the schema. If you use names, choose from the following options: When the XML column refers to an attribute, prefix it with the element name. PowerCenter uses the following format for the name of the XML column: NameOfElement_NameOfAttribute Prefix the XML view name for every XML column. PowerCenter uses the following format for the name of the XML column: NameOfView_NameOfElement Prefix the XML view name for every foreign-key column. PowerCenter uses the following format for the name of a generated foreign key column: FK_NameOfView_NameOfParentView_NameOfPKColumn Maximum length for a column name is 80 characters. PowerCenter truncates column names longer than 80 characters. If a column name is not unique, PowerCenter adds a numeric suffix to keep the name unique.
Default length for anyType element mapped to string	Default length of the string port created for an element of type anyType. You can create a port of type string for an element of type anyType. By default, the length of the string is the value you set here. To change the length of the string, edit the web service source or target definition in the WSDL workspace. Default is 10,000.
