...

       1.      Open the Visual Administrator, and choose Web Services Container ® Runtime ® Web Services

A warning message is displayed notifying you that choosing Publishleads to restarting of the application. If you want to continue, choose OK.

The SAP J2EE Engine Visual Administrator starts the UDDI client browser, which guides you step-by-step through the process of publishing your Web service. The URL that is opened in the UDDI client browser window contains the fully qualified host name that includes the domain as well. Therefore, if the client cannot be opened from local computers and you are using a proxy, include the local domain in the browser exclude list. If you are using Internet Explorer, choose Tools ® Internet Options ® Connections ® LAN Settings ® Advanced ® Exceptions and enter the local domain name.

       4.      Enter the user name and password, which you have created in the Initial Configuring

       5.      Select a business entity and enter your data about the business service you want to publish.

If the service has already been published, its tModel key is displayed and buttons to update it or publish it as a new service are available.

You can fill in the following data:

                            a.      Names in different languages

                            b.      Descriptions in different languages

                            c.      Categories used to classify the service

                            d.      Binding templates

The UDDI-specific information for a binding template consists of: descriptions of the template, the type and URL of the address point (the target address of the port), and information about the different instances. A separate screen configures the information about each instance.

       6.      Choose Publish to publish your Web service as a business service.
