To create a virtual service in CentraSite, you must select the native service for which you want to create the virtual service and run the “Virtualize” command. During the virtualization process, CentraSite copies the metadata (including the WSDL) from the native service to the virtual service. In other words, the virtual service is basically cloned from the native service.

Because the virtual service is cloned from the native service, it has its own copy of the service metadata. If you make a change to the metadata in the native service after you generate the virtual service, you will need to explicitly update the virtual service if you want that change reflected in the virtual service, too.
