Importing Web services

You can import Web services into a data development project from a compressed file that another person on your development team sent to you.

Prerequisite:

• The Data Project Explorer must list at least one data development project.

The compressed file includes the default generated XML schemas for the operations in the Web services, any custom schemas for the operations, and XSLT templates to use with the custom schemas.

For each Web service, the compressed file also contains files in a subdirectory that is named

.metadata. Do not edit these files.

To import Web services into a data development project:

1. Right-click the

   Web Services folder and select

   Import.

2. From the

   Import Web Services wizard, browse to the compressed file or config.xml file that contains the Web services.

   The config.xml file only contains information about operations that are included in a Web service. It does not contain additional information such as result set column names and types.

   If you are importing a compressed file, associate your project with the same database that is associated with the project from which the Web services were exported.

3. Click Finish.
