Create a provisioning request definition (see Section 4.0, Configuring Provisioning Request Definitions).

Create a workflow for the provisioning request definition (see Section 6.0, Creating the Workflow for a Provisioning Request Definition).

Click the Workflow tab.

Drag an Integration activity from the palette and place it in the desired location in the workflow.

Click the Properties tab.

Type a name for the activity in the Name field.

Click the Value field for the WSDL Resource property, then click the browse button to display a dialog box that you use to locate the WSDL file for the Web service that you want to access with the Integration activity.

Use the dialog box to browse your file system to locate the WSDL file for the Web service that you want to use. Click the name of the WSDL file, then click Open to return to the Properties tab.

A dialog box that you use to select a port type and operation for the Web service is displayed.

The Select Port Type list includes a set of port types supported by the Web service. Each port type supports operations that include the input and output messages of the operation.

Select a port type from the list.

Select an operation from the Select Operation list.

Click OK.

The Integration activity creates an action model based on the WSDL document.You use the action model at design time to test the input to the Web service, test the response from the Web service, and map and transform data, if necessary, before returning the data to the workflow.

For many Web services, you don’t need to concern yourself with the action model. You simply create data item mappings for the Integration activity. After the action model is created, a new tab, Integration, is added to the provisioning request definition editor. You use this tab to access the action model.

Specify the Timeout Interval, Retries, and Final Timeout Action properties (see Section 7.14, Integration Activity).

If you want to view or edit the action model, click the Integration tab.
