Renaming a Web Service

The M3 Web Services Designer allows you to change the name of an existing web service. You can use the Rename option if, for example, you want to give your web service a more meaningful or descriptive name that the web service consumer will understand.

Note: You must redeploy the web service after renaming it. The web service with the old name will continue to run on the M3 Web Services server, so you must undeploy the web service with the old name.
  1. In the Web Service Repositories view, select the web service that you want to rename and right-click.
  2. Select Rename to rename the web service.

    The Rename window is displayed. The window displays the current web service name.

  3. Specify the new name for the web service in the New name field.

    Provide a unique name for the web service.

  4. Click OK.

    The web service is renamed.

  5. Deploy the renamed web service. See Web Service deployment.
  6. Undeploy the web service with the old name. See Undeploying a Web Service.
