Creating a Virtual Service from Scratch
You can create a web service from scratch, that is, you manually create the virtual service and set its attributes.
To create a virtual service from scratch
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.
2. Click Add Asset.
3. In the Add Asset dialog, specify the following attributes:
In this field...
Do the following...
Type
Choose the Virtual Service asset type.
Name
A name for the new virtual service. Unlike native services, the names of virtual services cannot contain spaces or special characters (except _ and -). Consequently, if you adopt a convention that involves using the name of the service as part of the virtual service name, then the names of the services themselves must not contain characters that are invalid in virtual service names.
If you want to change the name of a virtual service later, make sure the service in undeployed, and then change the name in the service's detail page.
Description
Optional. A description for the virtual service. This description appears when a user displays a list of virtual services in the user interface.
Organization
Specify the organization to which this virtual service will be added.
Note:  
The Organization list contains the names of all organizations for which you have Manage Assets permission.
If you select an organization other than your own organization, you will nevertheless be the owner of the virtual service.
Note:  
Choose the organization with care. You cannot change the organization assignment after the virtual service is added to the catalog. You can, however, export a virtual service from one organization and import it to another.
4. Click OK. The virtual service is added to the Asset Catalog. The asset’s details page is displayed.
Important:  
During virtualization of an asset, CentraSite will not allow you to add the virtual asset to the asset catalog unless you have specified all “required” attributes in the asset’s type definition and all referenced objects to which the asset has an association. The value for the “required” attribute and referenced object must be specified in the virtual service’s profile in order to add the asset to the asset catalog.
5. View or edit the virtual service's profiles as described in Virtualized Services in CentraSite .
6. Configure the virtual service's processing steps as described in Creating Virtual Services
