Invoking Web services by using a manually generated WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit operation

To invoke Web services using a manually generated WebSphere® Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit operation, you must first create a Web services connector and then generate a Web services access operation (WSAccessOp). The Web services access operation uses the Web services connector to invoke the Web services that you want to use.

Generating a Web services access operation involves creating data mappings between the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit data model and the Web services data model. Data mapping is the process by which links are defined between two different data models so that messages can be passed between the two. Creating data mappings between the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit data model and the Web services data model enables data generated from WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit operations to access the Web services data model so that the Web service can be invoked.

To enable you to invoke Web services by using a manually generated WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit operation, WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit provides the following two wizards:
New Web Services Connector wizard
The New Web Services Connector wizard allows you to do the following tasks:
  • Select the WSDL file that describes the Web services operation that you want to invoke.
  • Generate the Web services client that is required to invoke the Web services operation.
Generate Web Services Access Operation wizard
The Generate Web Services Access Operation wizard allows you to create data mappings between the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit data model and the Web services data model so that the Web services provider is able to receive and process data sent from the WebSphere Multichannel Bank Transformation Toolkit operation context.
