Defining the operations in a service interface
Specify your service interface by defining the service
operations, the operation types, and the operations inputs, outputs,
and faults.
Before you begin
Create an integration service.
About this task
When you create
an integration service in IBM® Integration Bus, the service opens in the service
editor.
In the
Interface tab:
- You can define further operations.
- You can remove existing operations.
- You can specify names to existing operations.
- You can add or remove inputs, outputs, and faults to an operation.
- You can create a complex type for an input, output, or fault.
For more information, see
Integration service editor.

an integration service interface:
- Open your integration service in
the Service editor by double-clicking the Service Description in
the Application
Development view, or by right-clicking
and selecting Open.
- Select the Interface tab to see
the interface editor.
- By default, a request-response operation is created when
the integration service is created.
Click the operation name to edit it.
- Add or remove request-response operations and one-way operations
by using the icons.
- Add or remove inputs, outputs, and faults to operations

click the name and type of an input, output, or fault to edit it.
You can create a new complex type for an input, output, or fault by
clicking the type and selecting New....
Results
Your service interface is defined.
What to do next
Implement the operations that
are defined in your integration service.
