Configuring Web Services

For you to be able to use the Web service interface instead of middleware, you have to configure the Web service in SOA Manager. You can configure the Web service manually or automatically. You have to choose manual configuration, if authentication is to take place using a user name and password. You have to choose automatic configuration based on a WSDL file, if authentication is to take place using a certificate. Your Billing Consolidation service provider delivers the WSDL file.
