How to Create a Deployable Web Service Using a Multiple-instance Array › Deploy the Web Service Instance

Deploy the Web Service Instance

From the newly created Web Service Function, you can deploy a Web Service instance. Use the YCRTWS (Create Web Service Instance) command to install the web service to the IBM Web Services Server.

Notes:

• Before you deploy the Web Service Instance, verify that the Runtime Library List contains all of the libraries that are required to support the runtime business logic.
• Here we use the EDIT FUNCTION DETAILS screen, but you can also invoke YCRTWS from the command line and then configure the appropriate parameters.

Follow these steps:

1. Take option F against the Order detail file from EDIT DATABASE RELATIONS to access the EDIT FUNCTIONS screen.
2. Take option Z against the web service Order websrv.
3. Press F10 (Create Web Service Instance) and complete the fields as follows:

   Update Model

   *ADD

   Install to Server

   *YES

   Web Services Server

   YourServerName (the actual name for you Web Server)

4. Press Enter to save and deploy.

The Web Service Function is now available for users to call from your Web Server. Test the Web Service before notifying your users.

For detailed information on web service deployment see the Chapter Web Service Creation.

Note: Use the IBM Web Administration interface to start, stop, and test the deployed Web Service.
