Inbound Services settings

An inbound service describes the Web service enablement of a service destination. It provides the configuration of endpoint listeners within a port.

To view this administrative console page, click Service integration > Buses > [Content Pane] bus_name > Inbound Services > [Content Pane] service_name.

An inbound service is a Web interface to a service that is provided internally (that is, a service provided by your own organization and hosted in a location that is directly available through a service integration bus destination). To configure a locally-hosted service as an inbound service, you first associate it with a service destination, then you configure one or more ports (each with an associated endpoint listener) through which service requests and responses are passed to the service. You can also choose to have the local service made available through one or more UDDI registries.
