Ariba V2 Midstream transformation in mappings

Use Ariba V2 Connector to interact with web service applications that support SOAP API. Ariba V2 Connector supports Midstream transformation for a SOAP web service that has both request and response associated with it. You can use Ariba V2 Connector Midstream in a mapping to pass a single request to a web service application and process the response data.
Ariba V2 Connector does not support multiple source objects in a midstream transformation.
Before you configure a midstream transformation, you must create a business service from the Configure tab. You must select an Ariba V2 connection and a SOAP operation when you create a business service.
Perform the following steps to configure Midstream transformation:
  1. 1On the Web Service tab, select the business service and the operation
  2. 2On the Request Mapping tab, map the incoming fields from the source to the elements of Request Structure to form a web service request.
  3. 3On the Response Mapping tab, map the selected elements from the response structure with the output fields.
    4. You can view the response structure on the Response Mapping tab. When you map the elements from the response structure to the output fields, the Secure Agent creates the output groups, along with the primary and foreign keys for the field names.
  4. 4On the Advanced tab, you can specify the cache size details. The fields that you select from the Response Structure of the Web Service transformation appear as incoming fields for the target object.
  5. 5On the Field Mapping tab, map the incoming fields to the target fields.
  6. 6Click Task Wizards > Mapping Task, and select the mapping for the task.
