Editing Service Groups and Service References

When you create a Service Group and the corresponding service references, the framework allows you to edit their properties.

Prerequisites

A Service Group and service references are created in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio.

More information:

Creating Shared Service Groups

Creating Private Service Groups

Creating Predefined Service Groups

Creating Classified Service Groups
To enable classification on a Service Group, the following prerequisites apply:
- SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio is configured to connect to the Services Registry in Window Preferences Web Services Service Registry .
  
  More information: Connecting the SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio to the Services Registry
- If you are using a proxy to access the Internet, the proxy settings of SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio are configured in Window Preferences General Network Connections .

Procedure

Editing Service Groups

In the Project Explorer of the Java EE perspective, open the DC in which the Service Group exists.
To open the Service Group, choose Connectivity Service Groups
In the Service Group Details that open, update the following fields:
- Enter a new name and description of the Service Group in the respective fields.
- Enter the origin of the Service Group in the provided field.
  
  Note
  
  When you import a WSDL document, the framework verifies the host name of the service endpoint URL. If the host name is the same as the Origin property of the Service Group, the framework enables you to reuse this Service Group and create service references that point to it.
  
  End of the note.
- To classify the Service Group, choose the Classified option and then choose a classification from the window that opens. You use the same option to disable classification of the Service Group.
- To edit an existing classification, choose Edit and then choose new classification on the window that opens.
- By default, the Local Provider System field is disabled. This field corresponds to local Service Groups which are created with the mock services functionality. When you deploy a local Service Group on the engine, the tools automatically configure this Service Group to the local system. The local Service Groups are applicable only for the mock service tools.

Editing Service References

In the Project Explorer of the Java EE perspective, open the DC in which the service references node is created.
To open the Service References, choose Connectivity Service References
In the List of Service References, open the Service Interface. Expand the Service Group, then the Java package, and then the service interface.
To open the Property view, choose Window Show View Properties
Depending on the connectivity type you want to use, choose WS connectivity (Web service) or RFC (remote function call) connectivity in the Type field of the Overview tab.

Note

Note that at a later stage after you deploy the Service Group, you have to provide the respective RFC or WS configuration settings depending on the connectivity type which you set to the service reference at this step.

End of the note.
Choose the Reference Details tab.
- To change the referenced Service Group, proceed as follows:
  1. On the Service Group field, choose Browse.
    
    The Service Group Selection window opens.
  2. Choose a Service Group, and then choose OK.
- To change the authentication profile, proceed as follows:
  1. On the Authentication Profile field, choose Browse.
    
    The Authentication Profile Selection window opens.
  2. Choose an authentication profile, and then choose OK.
