How Refresh Affects a Web Service Descriptor

For this element...

During refresh Integration Server...

IS document type

Deletes all of the document types thatIntegration Server generated from the WSDL document. Integration Server then creates new document types using the updated WSDL document. Any changes made to the original document types will be lost.

IS schema

Deletes all of the IS schemas that Integration Server generated from the WSDL document. Integration Server then creates new IS schemas using the updated WSDL document. Any changes made to the original IS schemas will be lost.

Service

Does one of the following for the skeleton services generated for operations in the original WSDL document:

If logic has been added to the skeleton service or service properties have been set and the corresponding operation exists in the updated WSDL document, Integration Server merges the logic into the refreshed service and ensures that the property values match the values set prior to refreshing.

If logic has not been added to the skeleton service, service properties have not been set, and the corresponding operation exists in the updated WSDL document, Integration Server recreates the empty skeleton service.

If a service corresponds to an operation that does not exist in the updated WSDL document, Integration Server removes the operation that corresponds to the service from the web service descriptor. Integration Server keeps the service in the “services” folder.

Note:

Integration Server considers a renamed operation to be a new operation.

Web service connector

Deletes and recreates all web service connectors. Any changes made to a web service connector, including changes for pipeline mapping, will be lost.

connectors folder

Deletes the connectors folder and all elements contained in that folder and its subfolders. Integration Server will not recreate any elements manually added to the folder or its subfolders.

consumerWSDName_ folder

Deletes the consumerWSDName_ folder and all elements contained in that folder and its subfolders. Integration Server will not recreate any elements manually added to the folder or its subfolders. Integration Server will not recreate modifications made to any of the original elements in the consumerWSDName_ folder.

docTypes folder

Deletes the docTypes folder and all elements contained in that folder and its subfolders. Integration Server will not recreate any elements manually added to the folder or its subfolders.

responseServices folder

Does the following with the contents of the responseServices folder:

For new operations in the updated WSDL document, Integration Server adds new response services.

For modified operations, Integration Server updates the response services including merging in any logic that was added.

For deleted operations, Integration Server removes the operation that corresponds to the service from the web service descriptor. Integration Server keeps the response service in the “responseServices” folder.

services folder

Does the following with the contents of the services folder:

Adds new skeleton services for new operations in the updated WSDL document.

For modified operations, updates the skeleton services including merging in any logic that was added. For more information, see the “Service” row in this table.

For deleted operations, Integration Server removes the operation that corresponds to the service from the web service descriptor. Integration Server keeps the service in the “services” folder.

During refresh Integration Server...

Binders

Updates the binders to reflect any new port information in the WSDL document. Integration Server also updates the operations for each binder to reflect any new or removed operations in the updated WSDL document. Integration Server updates the SOAP action values assigned to operations in binders to reflect any changes in the updated WSDL document.

Header/Fault

For a header/fault defined in the WSDL document, Integration Server does one of the following:

If the updated WSDL document does not contain the header/fault, Integration Server removes the header/fault from the web service descriptor. Integration Server also deletes the document types used to define the header/fault documents from the docTypes folder.

If the updated WSDL document contains the header/fault, Integration Server keeps the header/fault in the web service descriptor. Integration Server recreates the document types used to define the header/fault documents and places them in the docTypes folder.

If the updated WSDL contains a new header/fault, Integration Server adds the header/fault to the web service descriptor. Integration Server adds the new document types used to define the header/fault documents to the docTypes folder.

For a header/fault that was added manually after the web service descriptor was created, Integration Server adds the document types that define the header/fault to the refreshed web service descriptor.

Note:

If a header/fault that was added manually after the web service descriptor was created has the same name as a header/fault in the updated WSDL document, Integration Server replaces the manually added header/fault with the header/fault that Integration Server generates programmatically from the WSDL document. This might result in broken mappings or unexpected behavior in the handler service associated with the header/fault.

Handler

Integration Server adds handlers defined in the previous version of the web service descriptor to the refreshed web service descriptor.

Operations

Updates the operations to reflect any new or removed operations in the updated WSDL document.

Policy

Attaches any polices added in the previous version of the web service descriptor to the refreshed version of the web service descriptor.
