When you manually create a web service, you can define one or more operations. When you manually create an operation, you can select the SOAP binding type and use elements and types from schema objects to define the operation elements. You can also use a mapplet, reusable transformation, logical data object, flat file data object, or relational data object to create an operation. When you create an operation from reusable object, you select the fields that you want to include in the operation from the object.

The Developer tool generates the contents of a WSDL file using the web service properties and the operations that you define. You can preview the contents of a WSDL file after you create the web service.
