Create Configuration From
The consists of two main parts: WSDL Configuration and WSDL Validation.

If you are using Legacy Desktop, the WSDL Configuration will look different. You will see separate options for importing single and concatenated WSDL files. |
The WS profile configuration can either handle a single WSDL file or several WSDL files, which all can be concatenated, using the Concatenated WSDL Files functionality.
The WSDL file must be a valid XML and must adhere to the W3C specifications - see http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_elements.asp. It is recommended that you use a validation service, outside , to check that the WSDL file is valid.

Here you can browse for, and import, a selected WSDL file

via the web browser. If present, they

are imported at the same time as the WSDL file. If not, a validation error

occurs.
Basic validation of the WSDL file is performed before the file is imported. After the file is imported, the content of the WSDL file and adherent files can be viewed in

the View WSDL

Content tab.
A more extended validation of the WSDL file is performed when the profile is saved.

If you configure the Web Service agents with any value that contradicts the WSDL file specifications, your configuration will override the WSDL file. |

You can use the Export WSDL button to export the original WSDL file to a directory on the local workstation. Refer to Web Service Profile Configuration Tab for further information.

Concatenated WSDL File
...
Used when parts of several WSDL files are required. The functionality is only useful if operations defined in bindings in several WSDL files shall be published at the same endpoint.
To add files to the Files list click on the button and browse for the correct WSDL files in the Add WSDL File dialog box.
The list of WSDL files will be concatenated when the profile is saved. The concatenation functionality concatenates and arranges all operations defined in the WSDL binding element of several WSDL files and everything else that is needed for the result to be a valid WSDL file.
...
Service Port Definition
This drop-down list consists of the service port definitions that are included in the WSDL file. Only one service element per WSDL file is supported. By selecting a port you set the binding address.
...

...
If the WSDL file consists of several concatenated files, only the first WSDL file service port is applicable.
The Service Port Definition entries appear in the following format:
...
XXX: Currently only SOAP ports are supported.
YYY: The name of the port.
ZZZ: The binding that the port is connected to.
WSDL Validation

You can use the Export button to export the original WSDL file to a ZIP file.
When you select an entry you are presented with an actions list allowing you to further interact with it:
