About Universal Names and Document Types
Every service and document type on a webMethods Integration Server has a universal name in addition to its regular webMethods name. A universal name is a unique public identifier that external protocols (such as SOAP) use to reference a service or document type on a webMethods Integration Server. For more information about assigning a universal name to a document type, see About Universal Names for Services or Document Types.
