Custom Services
You can create, edit, or delete custom services using Sterling B2B Integrator.
A service is a component that can be configured to carry out an activity in a business process.
You can add a custom service using:
- UI
- APIs - For more information on REST APIs, see B2B REST APIs available in Sterling B2B Integrator.
The custom services are stored in a database, which ensures maintainability across releases. No backup is required during an upgrade.
For UI, the custom services are uploaded and deployed on all the nodes, whereas for APIs, they are uploaded and deployed only on specific nodes.
You cannot delete or update the installed custom services. You can delete only the services in Installation Pending or Failed states.

services to take effect, you must restart Sterling B2B Integrator . Upon restarting ASI or
