Configuring Invoke Operation Tasks

The operation to be invoked by the Invoke Operation task must be contained in an interface in the target interface list.

Input Tab

The Invoke Operation task requires an input message for the invoked operation. To construct the input message, use the Input tab of the Invoke tab. The Input tab is a mapper panel, similar to the mapper available in the Transform task. See Transform Tasks for more information about using the mapper panel.

Output Tab

When the message exchange pattern of the invoked operation is request-reply, the Output tab displays a static schema tree to represent the output message of the invoked operation. If the message exchange pattern of the invoked operation is one-way, the Output tab of the Invoke Operation Mediation Task displays No Output Configured. The Output tab of the Mediation Operation is empty.

Procedure

  1. Add an Invoke task to a path.
  2. Select Properties View > General tab > Target Operations, and open the drop-down list to select an operation to invoke.
    You can also press the Shift key and drag the task onto the operation in one of the target interfaces. (Dragging a task without using the Shift key rearranges the task on a path.)
    When the Target Operation is selected for the Invoke Operation task, a green hint line appears to indicate which operation the task invokes.
