  'Advanced Parameter Properties' in Process Designer are taken
  into consideration for an inbound web-service and there is no
  way to turn the setting off.
  The advanced parameter properties for business objects lets you
  customize the serialized XML representation of the business
  object. This XMLrepresentation is used by external systems when
  a business object is part of an exposed web service.
  The advanced parameter properties used for serialization
  purposes are automatically created with appropriate values when
  you create a business object or import a WSDL file with business
  objects.It is recommended that you leave these serialization
  values as they are. Only change a value if you are an advanced
  user who has a need to override a value. You should be very
  knowledgeable of all the standardXML elements as defined by the
  W3C's XML Schema.
  
  APAR JR42012 enables several Advanced Parameter Properties that
  affect WSDL generation for inbound web services.
  Because this is a change of external behavior, the following
  property must be set to 'true' to see the effects of JR42012.
  <enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>true</enable-adva
  nced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>
  If it is set to false then the advanced parameter properties
  will not be taken into consideration when generating WSDL.
  
  For Advanced parameter properties. You can refer following
  technote for details:

Problem conclusion

• The interim fix introduces a new XML property:
  <enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>true</enable-adva
  nced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>
  
  If it is set to false then the advanced parameter properties
  will not be taken into consideration when generating WSDL.
  
  Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt
  on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page
  in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix
  package as a separate download.
