Resetting SOAP Web Services

Once an integration interface becomes a Web service, the associated service artifact is also generated. No matter if the generated service has been deployed or not, you can clear up the service artifact and reset the Web service status to its initial state - 'Not Generated' regardless of its current state. This action can be performed at any stage of service generation and deployment life cycle.

For example, an interface definition needs to be modified or has been changed. Instead of regenerating the service if it has not yet been deployed, or undeploying the service if it has been deployed, you can:

  1. Reset the service to clear up the existing service artifact.

  2. Modify the interface.

  3. Generate the service again.

For information on how to generate a Web service for a given interface, see Generating SOAP Web Services.

To reset a Web service:

  1. Log in to Oracle E-Business Suite as a user who has the Integration Administrator role. Select the Integrated SOA Gateway responsibility and the Integration Repository link.

  2. Click Search to open the main Search page.

  3. Enter appropriate search information such as product family, product, interface type, or business entity.

  4. Click Show More Search Options and select 'Deployed' or 'Generated' in the Web Service Status field.

  5. Locate the interface definition that match your search criteria from the result table.

  6. Click the interface definition name link to open the interface details page.

  7. In the Web Service region (or the SOAP Web Service tab for the interface with the support for both SOAP and REST services), click Reset to clear up existing service artifact for the selected service. The service status is changed to 'Not Generated'.
