Hi,

it is not mandatory to upload the WSDLs of your webservice. You can create similar structure and call your webservice . But, using the WSDLs imported in your ESR you can save time spent in creating datatypes and message types. Even if you import WSDL under external definition, you need to create your service interfaces using WSDL.

For calling a web service, it advised to import the wsdl and use the generated message types in the service interfaces.

Hi!

No. If you want to create the data types and interaces manually in ESR you are free to to that.

Uploading the WSDL just saves work, because you can directly use it in message interfaces resp. operations as well as in message mappings.
