The document outlines the process for connecting to a SOAP web service using WS Security within an ETL validator. It details steps such as validating and saving a WSDL file, configuring authentication, and creating various test plans to compare extracted data. Additionally, it lists the necessary prerequisites and procedures for successful connection and data handling.

1. Web Service Connection
with ETL Validator
Using WS Security

2. SOAP Services:
• SOAP Services are commonly used as a mechanism to
integrate applications internally as well as between
applications on the Cloud
• The most common mechanism for securing SOAP Services is
WS Security. Cloud applications such as Workday and Oracle
CRMOD use WS Security.
• ETL Validator supports SOAP Services as a Data Source with
WS Security

3. Pre-Requisites:
• Have the WSDL file handy on your local machine

4. SOAP Web Service Data Connection
