Configuring a Web Service response in DataStage

Configuring a Web Service response in DataStage®

A web service returns a SOAP message that the Web Service stage can decode into columns of one output row by using XPath expressions.

The returned SOAP message is decoded into five values.

To configure this option, you create output link properties with parameters and namespace data that comes from the WSDL definition of the web service operation.

As alternatives to decoding the response into a single row, you can:

Decode the SOAP message into multiple rows by using the Hierarchical Data stage as a linked stage.
Convert the content to another XML format by using the Hierarchical Data stage as a linked stage.
Use the SOAP message without modification in a linked stage.
Transformation data by using the appropriate stages.
