WEBSERVICE(name)
Specifies the 1-8 character name of the WEBSERVICE.
Acceptable characters:
A-Z a-z 0-9 $ @ # . / - _ % & ¢ ? ! : | " = ¬ , ; < >
For information about entering mixed case information, see Entering mixed case attributes.
Do not use names beginning with DFH, because these characters are reserved for use by CICS.
GROUP(groupname)
Every resource definition must have a GROUP name. The resource definition becomes a member of the group and is installed in the CICS system when the group is installed.
Acceptable characters:
A-Z 0-9 $ @ #
Any lower case characters you enter are converted to upper case.

The GROUP name can be up to eight characters in length. Lowercase characters are treated as uppercase characters. Do not use group names beginning with DFH, because these characters are reserved for use by CICS.

DESCRIPTION(text)
You can provide a description of the resource you are defining in this field. The description text can be up to 58 characters in length. There are no restrictions on the characters that you can use. However, if you use parentheses, ensure that for each left parenthesis there is a matching right one. If you use the CREATE command, for each single apostrophe in the text, code two apostrophes.
PIPELINE(pipelinename)
Specifies the 1-8 character name of the PIPELINE with which this WEBSERVICE is associated.
Acceptable characters:
A-Z 0-9 $ @ #
Unless you are using the CREATE command, any lowercase characters you enter are converted to uppercase.
VALIDATION(NO|YES)
Specifies whether full validation of SOAP messages against the corresponding schema in the Web service description should be performed at run time. Validating a SOAP message against its schema incurs considerable processing overhead, and you should normally specify VALIDATION(NO).

Full validation ensures that all SOAP messages that are sent and received are valid XML with respect to the XML schema. If VALIDATION(NO) is specified, sufficient validation is performed to ensure that the message contains well-formed XML.

WSBIND(hfsfile)
