Not quite.. The mid tier has no idea you have created a web service even after you have created one. It has nothing to do with the creation or update process. This is why you have out of the box web services that work although the URL in the WSDL Publishing Location looks something like http:///

We have the same understanding. More I think about my actions it appears that when you create a web service the mid-tier becomes aware of it. When you update a web service, you have to tell the mid-tier. Here is what I did Created a web service, we'll call it WS, and it appeared via the mid-tier

This is my understanding of why that happens. The Mid-Tier is used as a 'client' for the WSDL. the WSDL is really stored in the AR Server. So when you do a change to the WSDL, the AR Server knows about the change.. And when you use that WSDL, the WSDL uses the mid-tier as a client. All the n

I still have to snicker at the "maintenance level upgrade" bit. I mean, 7.6.04 introduces true load balancing between the mid tier and AR. To use this feature, you would need to reconfigure your load balancer etc.. To me, that's not maintenance level. Also, the consoles changed visually in ITSM as

Moving from AR System 7.6.03 to 7.6.04 is a maintenance level upgrade, so it should not be too much effort. If you'd like to also take advantage of overlays, you may want to schedule in a little extra time to get it over with in preparation for future upgrades, but it's optional until you upgra

I would take them off of the Web Service defaults. The Web Service defaults are separate from the form defaults so you don't need them in the service. Personally I think that is a bug (What version are you on?). I just created one on my 7.6.04 SP3 and it did the same thing. I don't remember
