Modifying Web Service Details
You use the details page of a Web Service asset to examine and modify the WSDL specification.
The asset type Service has a unique set of profiles. However, an administrator can configure this asset type to display a customized set of profiles and attributes.
The following general guidelines apply when modifying the details of a Web Service asset in CentraSite Business UI:
*If you are not the owner of the Web Service, you cannot examine or modify the details of the Web Service, unless you have the View or Modify permission on the Web Service (granted though either a role-based permission or an instance-level permission).
*When you view the details page of a Web Service, you will only see profiles for which you have the profile-level View permission. You will only be able to modify the attributes of the profiles on which you have the Modify permission.
*When you hover over an attribute, CentraSite displays the tooltip text that provides a short description of the attribute's purpose.
*Some attributes accept only specific types of information. For example, if the Service asset type includes a URL type attribute, you must supply a URL when you modify that attribute. Other attribute types that require a specific type of value include the Date and Email attributes.
*Some attributes are designed to be read-only. You cannot modify the read-only attributes even if you have the CentraSite Administrator role.
In this task you modify the basic and type-specific attributes that are associated with a Web Service. You can view the bindings, operations, WSDL file, associated schema files, and the external links to the WSDL and schema files.
