Setting deployment properties and generating the service
Use the external service wizard to set activation specification properties and generate artifacts for use with your module. Artifacts are the business objects, WSDL files, and import and export files that are created as part of the external service. While creating artifacts for the module, the adapter generates an export file. The export file contains the operation for the top-level business object.
To set activation specification properties and generate artifacts for your module, you must have already configured data bindings and selected business objects.
To set activation specification properties and generate artifacts, follow this procedure. For more information about activation specification properties, see the Activation specification properties topic.
Procedure
- In the Add, Edit, or Remove Operations window, click Advanced.
- In the Additional configuration section, type values for different interaction specification properties. Click Next.

- In the Specify the Name and Location window, type a name for the interface. This name displays in the IBM Integration Designer assembly
diagram. Click Finish.

Results
The IBM Integration Designer generates the artifacts and an import. The inbound artifacts that are created are visible in the IBM Integration Designer Project Explorer under your module.
What to do next
