You can export an existing SOAP Web service definition to save its deployment information, properties, and other settings. This creates a Web Service Definition (WSD) XML file with a name in the form filename.wsd, with a filename that you specify. You can use this file to copy (import) the SOAP Web service to another WSA instance or to save it as a backup for the SOAP Web service definition.
To export a SOAP Web service:
1. Click Resources in the management console menu. All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
2. Filter or search for the WebServices Adapter broker instance where the SOAP Web service you want to export is deployed.
3. Click the WebServices Adapter broker instance. The WebServices Adapter details page appears.
4. In the Deployed Web Services section of the page, click Export.
5. Type the path and file name, ending in .wsd, of the file for the SOAP Web service you want to export.
