Creating an integration service from scratch
To create an integration service from scratch, define a service interface and implement its operations.
Before you begin
- Read the concept information about Integration services.
- If you want to create an integration service definition that will be used by multiple integration services, create a shared library. You can then select this shared library when you complete the New Integration Service wizard.
If you have an existing interface that is specified in a WSDL file or designed in a Business Process Manager .twx file, complete the steps in one of the following topics:

What to do next
- Define the operations of the service interface by using the Interface tab of the service editor.
Use the controls to add a request-response operation or a one-way (request) operation. You can define the inputs and outputs of each operation, and specify the name and type of each one. For more information, see Defining the operations in a service interface.
- Implement the operations that are defined in your service interface. For more information, see Implementing an integration service operation.
- Deploy and test an integration service. If you have stored your definition in a shared library, or referenced other resources in shared libraries, you must deploy the shared libraries with or before the integration service. If you update the resources in a shared library and redeploy it, those changes are available to all integration services that reference the shared library. For more information, see Deployment rules and guidelines.
