The Save action will perform the following:

Verify that the Service URL ID value meets the Oracle standard for an URL value. If valid, the value will then be checked against Integration Broker Service Alias's to insure it is unique. If the value does not meet this criteria, a pop up message will be displayed.

This example illustrates the Service URL ID validation message.

Correct the Service URL ID and save the application service.
When the Service URL ID is valid, save processing will generate the necessary IB metadata, update the Service Name and enable the Create Root Resource and Import Root Resource buttons.
