Viewing General Service Operation Information
When you access a service operation ( , the Service Operations - General page (IB_SERVICE) appears.
The top portion of this page contains basic information about a service operation, including its name, description, and so on. The Service Operation Security link opens the permission list for the service. Note that the Service Operation Security link appears only after a service operation definition is saved.
Note: The Conditional Navigation control is reserved for future use.
The Runtime Schema Validation group box shows if runtime schema validation is selected for the request and response messages.
The Routing Status group box shows if any-to-local, local-to-local, or in the case of feeds, local-to-Atom, routing definitions have been generated for the service operation. Click the Routings tab to view detailed information about routing definitions that exist for a service operation.
The Routing Actions Upon Save group box shows the possible routings that the system can generate when the service operation definition is saved.
The Message Information section displays the request message, response message information, and fault message for the service operation. The View Message links in this section open the displayed message on the Message Definition page, where you can view additional information about the message. For messages defined for web services, all service operations with operation types other than Synchronous, the queue to which a message belongs also appears.
