Execute a Data Bank before responder correlation in order to use a data banked request value as part of custom correlation.

Chain a Data Bank to the Pre-correlation Incoming Request of a Message Responder. Use the data banked values in custom correlation to determine if certain criteria is met.

You may also reference the data banked values in other forms of correlation or in the response message payload.

A responder triggers a database update action.

For example: update/remote/add a row to a relational database or run a SELECT query.

Chain a Data Bank to the Incoming Request of a Message Responder. 

You may also chain an XML Data Bank to the XML output of the DB tool and reference these data bank values to in the Responder output in order to have them populate the response with values obtained from a relational database.

Database data constructs a response message manually.

For example: iterate over returned records to generate a desired XML response format.

Chain the DB tool to the outgoing response of a Message Responder and attach an XML Transformer, an XSLT Tool or an Extension tool to it. The output of these tools will replace the content configured in the Message Responder editor's Response tab. This provides flexibility to construct the message manually. 

If you want to use only certain select values from the database, chain the DB Tool to the Incoming Request as described above.

Chain a SOAP/Messaging Client to the Incoming Request of the Message Responder and attach a Data Bank to the response of the client. These data bank values can be referenced within the Message Responder Form Input or Form XML views to construct a dynamic response message. 

If you need to invoke that service with parameters extracted from the request received by the responder, then chain an XML Data Bank to the Incoming Request of the Responder, then chain a SOAP/Messaging Client to the Incoming Request of the responder and parameterize its request with the data bank values you've extracted from the request. Note that order matters here: the data bank needs to be placed before the client in order for the client to be able to use its values.

Chain a validator to the Pre-correlation Incoming Request of the Message Responder and attach a Text Data Bank to the validator to extract any reported errors.
Configure the Responder Correlation of the Message Responder to use request body (Xpath) correlation or custom (scripting) correlation.
