Inbound message conversion is the SOAP XML Payload and Oracle Tuxedo typed buffer conversion process that conforms to “Tuxedo-to-XML data type mapping rules”. Inbound message conversion happens in two phases:

• When GWWS accepts SOAP requests for legacy Oracle Tuxedo services;
• When GWWS accepts response typed buffers from legacy Oracle Tuxedo services.

SALT encloses Oracle Tuxedo buffer content using elements <inbuf>, <outbuf>and/or <errbuf> in the SOAP message, the content included within elements <inbuf>, <outbuf> and/or <errbuf> is called “Inbound XML Payload”.
