Attaching a service map to a local mapping service by using the administrative console

Attach a service map to a local mapping service to create a service mapping, which you can use to route or transform requests sent from a service client to a service provider.

Before you begin

Before you attach a service map to an existing local mapping service, ensure that one or more service maps have been installed, and that you have created one or more local mapping services. See Installing a service map by using the administrative console and Creating a local mapping service by using the administrative console.

When you attach a service map to a local mapping service, the local mapping service must be valid for that service map. A valid local mapping service is one whose source service properties match the source service properties defined in the service map. You must collect the service properties of the provider service that you are routing to before you attach the service map to the local mapping service. The properties you require are:

Endpoint address
The endpoint address of the service provider that is used by the web service request that the local mapping service intercepts.
Port type
The port type associated with the service request that is intercepted by the local mapping service. This field is optional.
Namespace
The namespace for the service and port.
Service name
The name of the web service request that is intercepted by the local mapping service.
Port name
The port name associated with the web service request that is intercepted by the local mapping service.

About this task
