Before you begin this task:

  • You must have the role of an Administrator to perform this task.

  3. Double-click the Service Group (containing the WS-AppServer Service) to which you intend to attach the Web service interface. The related properties are displayed in the ServiceGroup Properties - <Service Group Name> palette window. It also shows the already attached Web service interfaces listed under Web Service Interfaces.
  4. Under Web Service Interfaces, click . The Attach Web Service Interfaces dialog box appears.
  5. From the Organization/Package drop-down list, select the Organization/Package to which the generated Web service interface was published. The published Web service interfaces appear in the table below.
  6. Select the check box next to the Web service interface that you want to add and click Add below the table. The selected Web service interface is added to the existing list of Web service interfaces shown in another table below.
  7. Click Done. The Attach Web Service Interfaces dialog box closes and the Web service interface that you added appears under Web Service Interfaces.
