The WebFOCUS WSDL creation utility creates the WSDL file that is needed in development to call desired WebFOCUS Web Services functions in either a .NET or Java environment. WSDL (Web Services Description Language) files are XML documents that are programming-language neutral and standards-based. They define input parameters for Web Services functions, expected output, and the messages used to call each function.

You can generate a WSDL file for WebFOCUS by navigating to
