Revising Virtualized Services
Each tab on the detail page of a virtualized service represents a collection of attributes called a profile. You will only see the profiles for which you have View permission. The asset type Service has a unique set of profiles. However, your administrator can configure this asset type to display a customized set of profiles and attributes.
Important:  
This is of specific relevance to REST and XML based virtual service assets. Beginning with version 9.7, CentraSite supports the enhanced interface for REST and XML service assets (in contrast, earlier versions of CentraSite supported a standardized interface for REST and XML service assets). Note that the standardized REST and XML service interface that was implemented by versions of CentraSite prior to version 9.7 is not compatible with the enhanced interface that is implemented by current version of CentraSite. Documentation of the prior REST and XML service interface is available to Software AG customers who have a current maintenance contract in Empower, Software AG's global extranet (http://empower.softwareag.com/).
If You Migrate REST/XML Services from a Pre-9.7 Release
If you have REST and XML services that were created prior to version 9.7, these REST services will continue to hold the old version's metadata in the enhanced REST service interface implemented by current version of CentraSite. Keep in mind that you can only view properties of the REST and XML services in CentraSite Control. You cannot configure properties of the REST or XML services using the CentraSite Control user interface (not even if you belong to the CentraSite Administrator role). You will only be able to configure the properties using the CentraSite Business UI.
When editing attributes, keep the following points in mind:
*If you are not the owner of the virtual service, you cannot edit the virtual service unless you have Modify permission on the virtual service (granted through either a role-based permission or an instance-level permission).
*When you view the details for the virtual service, you will only see profiles for which you have View permission. You will only be able to edit the profiles on which you have Modify permission.
*Some attributes accept only specific types of information. For example, if the virtual service includes a URL type attribute, you must supply a URL when you edit that attribute. Other attribute types that require a specific type of value include Date attributes and Email attributes.
*Some attributes are designed to be read-only and cannot be edited even if they appear in a virtual service on which you have Modify permission.
To view or edit the detail pages of a virtualized service
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse Catalog.
2. On the Browse Catalog page, perform a keyword search or advanced search to display the virtualized services. For procedures, see CentraSite User’s Guide.
3. Locate the virtualized service whose details you want to view or edit and, from its context menu, select Details.
If you want to edit multiple services, mark the checkboxes of all desired services, and from the Actions menu, click Details. The detail page for each of the selected services is now displayed.
4. To edit an asset's Name, Description or user-defined version number, make sure the service is undeployed, then place the cursor in the appropriate field and modify the text as required.
5. To modify the extended attributes associated with the virtual service, do the following:
a. Select the profile that contains the attribute(s) that you want to modify.
b. Edit the attributes on the profile as necessary.
For a SOAP-based Virtual Service only: You can upload a new WSDL file or update an existing WSDL file.
You attach a WSDL file to the catalog entry using the Attach WSDL command in the virtual service's Actions menu. If you are attaching a WSDL file to a service that already has a WSDL, the service name in the new WSDL must be identical to the service name in the existing one or the process will fail.
c. Repeat steps 5.a and 5.b for each profile that you want to edit.
Note:  
If at any time you want to abandon your unsaved edits, click Close. CentraSite will ask you if you want to save your edits. Click No to abandon your edits and return the virtual service's attributes to their previous settings.
6. When you have finished making your edits, click Save.
You can view a tooltip text for any attribute in a profile of the virtualized service's detail page by moving the cursor to the attribute name. The tooltip text gives a summary of the attribute's purpose. The tooltip text shown is the content of the attribute's Description field, as defined for the virtualized service in the Service type definition. See CentraSite Administrator’s Guide for information on defining attributes for Service type.
