The new TimeXtender native REST connector works very well, especially compared to the complex RSD configuration with the old CDATA connector.

The tool to flatten out the XML/JSON returned by the webservice is also very handy and helpful to structure the data into the datawarehouse.

At this point, we still need to use an external tool like SoapUI or Postman to fetch the XML/JSON from the webservice and paste it into the XSLT configuration tool. Since the connector already has the necessary information to get the data from the webservice, it would be nice if there is a ‘Get from webservice’-like button so the data is fetched directly instead of having to copy/paste it from another tool.

As you can see this option exists. You need a Ingest Instance to point at, which will run the get schema call. When you run it it returns the nodes when successful.
