Use Web Service Consumer Connector to connect to web service applications that support SOAP API. You can use Web Service Consumer Connector in a Web Services transformation.

You can use Web Service Consumer Connector midstream in a mapping to pass a single or multiple requests to a web service application and process the response data. You can also pass data obtained from multiple transformations in the mapping pipeline and process the data.

When you use Web Service Consumer Connector midstream in a mapping, you first create a business service for the operation that you want to perform in the web service application. You then associate the business service in a Web Services transformation midstream in a mapping to read from or write data to the web service application.

You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.
