The Service Component wizard enables you to model a service component and add static data and input ports to it. This may be useful if you are modeling an application and the services you need to use do not yet exist in the back-end system. In this way, you can model the application, and then later replace the service created by the wizard with the real back-end service when it exists.

More information: Creating a Service Using the Service Component Wizard

You display the Service Component wizard by choosing   Tools   Service Component Wizard   or by dragging a Service Component icon from the Compose task panel to the Design board and choosing Use Wizard from the context menu.

When creating a service component using the wizard, the following screens are displayed:

  1. Define Service Name

  2. Define Data

  3. Define Input

  4. Define Conditions

When using the wizard to create a service component, you can click Finish at any point to create the service component – you do not need to complete all the steps of the wizard.

Note Note

After you create a service component (with or without the wizard), you cannot modify its data or definitions using the wizard. If you want to modify a service component, you need to manually modify its elements individually in the Design board.

End of the note.
