Configuring Virtual Business Components

After the administrator creates the proxy business services, the administrator enters the data in these proxy business services into the virtual business components that retrieve and display data from the billing application. For information about creating proxy business services, see Creating Outbound Web Services.

The administrator configures the following virtual business components:

• Prepaid Service - All Activities
• Prepaid Service - Current Balance
• Prepaid Service - Top Up Request
• Prepaid Service - Top Up Request Popup
• Prepaid Service - Top Up Request (Assets)

This task is a step in Process of Configuring Prepaid Services.
