The WS profile enables you to define a web service. One profile defines one web service.

In the WS profile you specify a WSDL file that mainly includes the following parts of a Web Service definition:

• XML Schema: Defines information about the service either directly or via an XSD-file

• WSDL: Communication relevant information

• Binding elements: supports only SOAP bindings

The WS profile can include more than one WSDL file references.

The WS profile is loaded when you start a workflow that depends on it. Changes to the profile become effective when you restart the workflow.
