In the style definition in WSDL documents, there is a basic difference between the RPC (remote procedure call) style and the document style. In the RPC style, the SOAP message contains removed procedure calls.  Data types are used in accordance with SOAP specifications. In the document style, XML documents are exchanged. The data types are defined with the help of the XML schema.

If you tick the Include SAP Features in WSDL, non-standard features in the WSDL document will be marked as SAP features.

For each processed Web service you can call the WSADMIN transaction and choose Goto ® Settings SOAP Runtime  to adopt the defined default settings or choose other criteria displayed in the input help.

Publication of a Web Service as a Business Service in the UDDI

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled before you can publish a Web service as a business service.

·         Note that the Web service definition must have been created as a tModel (see Creating a Web Service Definition).

·         The UDDI registry in which the Web Service is to be published must be defined in the SAP system (see Maintaining UDDI Registries).

·         Choose Goto  ® Settings Administration if you wish to select the checkbox Execute UDDI Registrations in the Background in the initial screen of the transaction.  In this case, the Web service is published without calling the UDDI client. For execution of UDDI registrations without calling the UDDI client, it is necessary that a default business entity was entered in the UDDI registry in which the Web service is to be published (see also Maintaining UDDI Registries).
