Operations in Consumable Web Services

In the Operations screen, all information required for the web service to work correctly is available. In a Consumable Web Service, the information can only be viewed to verify that the WSDL contract has been imported correctly. Therefore, the buttons in a Consumable Web Service are grayed out, as shown below.

PortType

In the PortType pane, a list of the PortTypes defined for this Web Service is shown.

Operation

When a PortType has been selected in the PortType pane, the available Operations for this PortType will be listed in the Operation pane.

Mapping

When an Operation has been selected in the Operation pane, the available Parameter Mappings for that Operation are listed in the Mapping pane. These parameter mappings are derived from the routine selected for that Operation.

In a Consumable Web Service, the Mapping defines the type and order of parameters in the Web Service subroutines called from the code. See Managing Consumable Mappings.

Warning: AMT does not check the validity of the PortType, Operation, and Mapping settings. The developer is responsible for ensuring that these settings are correct for the Web Service to work properly.
