Is it possible to create a Data Filter for Web Service Source objects in Informatica Cloud Services?

Creating a Data Filter for Web Service Source objects in Informatica Cloud Services is not supported. This limitation exists because Web Service Sources are designed to retrieve data from external applications or web services through APIs, and they do not inherently provide the same level of filtering capabilities that database sources or files do.

In most data integration scenarios, filtering is based on database operations where conditions can be applied directly in the SQL queries or transformations. With Web Service Sources, the data is usually fetched in its entirety from the API, and any filtering is expected to be handled post-retrieval in subsequent transformations within the Informatica Cloud workflow.

This characteristic makes the possibility of applying data filters directly at the source level through Web Service integration scenarios a flawed expectation. Thus, marking it false acknowledges the current limitations of the integration tool with respect to Web Service Sources specifically.
