Linking field definitions to a web service BO definition
After creating a web service definition and linking business object definitions to it, you can now specify fields for the business object definition.
Procedure
1. In Web services, select a web service definition and go to Business object definitions.
2. Select the business object definition for which you want to specify the fields to be used by your new web service.
3. On the action panel, click Link field definitions.
Select one or more field definitions from the Available list and move to the In use list.
The field definitions are linked to the business object definition.
4. Click OK.
 | When the Link field definitions dialog box opens, a number of fields are already selected to be 'in use'. These fields are mandatory and if they are removed, you will not be able to generate your web service. In addition, the fields listed in the Link field definitions dialog box are the same as those in Field Definer, excluding auto-generated fields. |
 | If you update the records via web services, you do not have to enter the mandatory field values again if you are not actually updating them. The field values are inserted automatically. |
