Adding Web Service Asset from Scratch
You might not be able to manually set all of the attributes for a Web Service asset. Certain attributes can only be set by an importer. For example, CentraSite allows you to add a Web Service asset to the catalog from scratch, but attributes such as the list of operations and the service endpoints cannot be specified manually. To set these attributes, you must attach the WSDL file to the Web Service asset using the Attach WSDL command on the asset's Actions menu.
To add a Web Service asset to the catalog
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.
2. Click Add Asset.
3. In the Add Asset dialog box, provide the required information for each of the displayed data fields.
Field
Description
Type
The asset type, Service.
Name
Optional. Name of the Web Service asset.
Note:  
This is the name that users will see when they view this Web Service in the CentraSite User Interfaces. Therefore, we recommend that you specify a meaningful name for each Web Service.
A Web Service asset name can contain any characters (including spaces), and must be unique within an organization.
Description
Optional. The description for the Web Service.

Organization
The organization to which you want to add the Web Service. (The Organization list only displays organizations for which you have the Manage Assets permission or at least the Create Assets permission.) If you select an organization other than your own organization, you will nevertheless be the owner of the asset.
Important:  
Select the organization carefully. You cannot change the organization assignment later. You can, however, export a Web Service asset from one organization and import it to another.
Initial Version
Optional. An identifier for the initial version of the Web Service. This is the user-defined version, as opposed to the automatically assigned system version. You can enter any string in this field, that is, the version identifier does not need to be numeric. You can also leave the field blank. You can later create new versions of the asset. The default is 1.0.
If the versioning feature is disabled for the Service asset type, the field is nevertheless displayed, thus allowing you to assign an identifier for this first version.0
4. Click OK.
The newly created Web Service asset is added to the CentraSite Registry Repository.
5. Configure the extended attributes of the Web Service asset.
