Deploying a Business Service as a Web Service

You deploy business services as Web services in Siebel Tools. To be deployed, a business service must have at least one accessible method that is supported in Siebel inbound Web services. The business service must include a valid integration object name for any hierarchical argument. The following procedure explains how to deploy a business service as a Web service.

To deploy a business service as a Web service

1. In the Siebel Tools Object Explorer, select the Business Service object.

   The Business Services list appears.

2. In the Object List Editor, right-click the business service to deploy, and then choose Deploy as Web Service.

3. Specify the following in the dialog box, and then click Finish:

   • Business Service methods to make available. The operation names for the business service methods are system generated. To edit an operation name, click it in the list.

   • URL for Web service. Replace webserver with a valid host name and lang with a valid language code, such as ENU.

   • Generate WSDL checkbox. To generate a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file, click the checkbox, and then choose a location to save the WSDL file.

   The business service is deployed. Deployed business services are shown in the Administration - Business Services screen in the Siebel client. Deployed Web services are shown in the Administration - Inbound Web Services view.
