Service connect is not so bad. The easiest way to build the work flows is to
turn on tracing in Vantage and do your process manually. Look at the trace
to see which services are called and duplicate that in SC.
You can order the manual if you like but there are pdf's of it somewhere in
the install directory. At one point they were an Epicweb as well, not sure
if they're still there. You will need it to figure out how to set up message
maps and i/o channels. After that it is pretty much useless.
I attached a backup of a few of our part import processes we used for bulk
part imports. You should be able to take one, change the incoming schema and
push any part data you have through it. Most of the mandatory fields are
hard coded to "default" or something like that, so check the conversions and
make sure everything you need is right.
Have fun. Send me a message if you have trouble.

PS - If you get an error that says "unable to determine message map" there
may be nothing wrong with your map. Just delete the map and rebuild it. This
is a common bug in SC.
