The Web service, also known as the business service, describes a Web service's endpoint and where its WSDL file resides. The WSDL file lists the operations that service provides.
You can publish a business service using two different publication formats: simple and advanced.
To publish a Web service using the simple option:
Important: Ensure that you select the service document, since the service element is the basis for the Business Service that you will publish. You cannot publish a Business Service using a WSDL document that does not have service elements.
The Web Services Explorer is automatically updated with your published Web service. The registry contains pointers to the URL of the WSDL service document of the Web service. Businesses can now discover and integrate with your Web service.
