Universal Name Properties for Services
You can specify a unique public identifier that external protocols (such as SOAP) use to reference a service on an Integration Server. Every service on an Integration Server has an explicit universal name in addition to its regular implicit webMethods name. If you omit or delete a service's explicit universal name, it still retains its implicit universal name.
In the Properties view, under Universal Name, you assign a universal name to a service.
A universal name has two parts: a namespace name and a local name.
Property
Description
Namespace name
Specifies the name used to qualify the local name of this service. The namespace name you specify must be a valid absolute URI (relative URIs are not supported).
Local name
Specifies a name that uniquely identifies this service within the collection encompassed by Namespace name. The name can be composed of any combination of letters, digits, or the period (.), dash (-), or underscore (_) characters. The name must begin with a letter or the underscore character.
Note:
Most webMethods users use the unqualified portion of the service name as the local name.
