Endpoint updates in a web services binding
Web services can be moved to a different server. You should know how to change the endpoint URL address in such cases as the endpoint provides the server location of the web service you are using.
Endpoint updates in a unit test environment
During the development and testing of a web service, you can update an endpoint address in either the properties view of the web services binding or in the WSDL editor.
To update an endpoint from the binding properties view, select the import or export in the assembly editor and open the Properties view. Select the Bindings tab. The endpoint can be viewed and updated from the Address field.
To update an endpoint from the WSDL editor properties view for a web services import binding, click the canvas and open the Properties view. Select the General tab. The endpoint can be viewed and updated from the Address field.
You cannot update the endpoint value in the Address field of a web services export binding.
Endpoint updates in a production environment
After you have deployed a service to a server in a production environment, you can still change an endpoint by using the Process Admin Console.
To change the endpoint on a production server, see Administer bindings. Each binding has a section on viewing and updating the binding information including the endpoint URL.
