Editing Web Service System
Properties
Use
The template for a Web service system defines the specific parameters needed to consume a Web service, and contains a reference to the Web service connector. The Web service system inherits these properties, some with default values, others that require the setting of values. You edit the system by inserting needed property values and by modifying default values, if necessary.
The template contains many properties, not all of which can be edited, and not all of which are necessary for establishing a connection and consuming a Web service.
The table below lists the properties needed to define connectivity to a Web service. Each has an explanation of the value that should be set.
