The Web Service service enables processes to invoke web
service operations. For example, an organization may want to integrate
a process to store and retrieve information such as contact and
account details by invoking a service provider’s exposed web services.
The Web Service service invokes a specified web service and passes
through values for each of its parameters. It then saves the return values
from the operation into a designated variable within a process.
The Web Service service interacts with web services by sending
and receiving SOAP messages. The service also supports sending MIME,
MTOM, and SwaRef attachments with SOAP messages by using the WS-Attachment
protocol. The Web Service service interactions are compatible with
SAP systems and .NET web services.
