Transformations

Transformations

When you integrate with a DaaS provider for data enrichment, you must match some of the business entity information you have with the information from the DaaS provider. Send a request to the DaaS web service with some minimum required information about a business entity. Based on the information, the DaaS provider sends a response that you can use to enrich the business entity data.
Use the SOAP protocol for requests and responses. The request to and the response from the DaaS service is an XML structure. A business entity service accepts some business entity data as input and maps it to fields in an XML document. The service calls the DaaS web service with this information and receives the response in the form of an XML document. The service converts the XML document to the business entity fields and saves the information as business entity data. You must configure transformations and map the business entity fields to the XML request fields and the XML response fields to the business entity fields .
Configure the following transformations for DaaS:
  • Business entity to XML
    . Mapping required to send a request to a DaaS service.
  • XML to business entity
    . Mapping required to read and convert a response from a DaaS service.
