Adding an Operation

An operation provides the interface for a service; it specifies what the service can do.

Use one of the following methods to add an operation:

• Use the New Service Wizard to define the service, adding an operation as you are defining the service or  

• Use the Add Operation Wizard after the service has been created.

1. Double-click the WSDL file to open in the Service Editor or right-click and open with the selected editor.

2. Using the Service Editor in Service Info mode (Service>Show>Service Info), right-click the Operations folder and select Add Operation or
   in WSDL Structure mode (Service>Show>WSDL Structure), right-click a port type and select Add Operation.

The wizard walks you through the process of adding an operation. When you select Add Operation, you begin working with the Database Operation Wizard for database services or the Messaging Operation Wizard for messaging services.
