Calling the web service

Now import the following profile. We use this profile to call the local web service in a Response : Profile-Calling_web_service_with_response_route.pak

(2) Enter the value "https://localhost:443/dw/Request/addition_web_service?wsdl". That is our local web service.

Now navigate to phase 5 and select the XMLNoTemplateUnit and enter value "Add" for the "Root node name" parameter. You can ignore all other parameters.
