Invoking refers to the ability to call an operation of a referenced service in the mediation flow. This can be done either at the end of a request flow using a Callout primitive or inline using the Service Invoke primitive.
To be able to invoke an operation on a service reference you must:
  1. If you need to, create an interface and the operation.
  2. Click the operation to open its implementation.
  3. You now have two options:
    1. To invoke the service inline, add the Service Invoke primitive to the canvas.
    2. To use a callout invoke, add a callout to the canvas.
  4. Select the reference and operation that you want to invoke.
  5. Wire the primitives as you normally would and set their properties.
