HI Bhargava,

A few cents, may be im wrong with yor question or you are asking about another characteristic,

--> what is service end point ?

It's the URL in which you can connect with the webservice

 --> Its use in web service and PI?

It's used for example in Receiver and in the wsdl that you can expose for third-party calls. For example in the wsdl you should have:

wsdl:port name="MyServicePort" binding="p1:MyServiceBinding" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
            <soap:address location="http://XXX/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=AAA:YYY:ZZ..." xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"/>
        </wsdl:port>

For the SOAP receiver you must specify the endpoint or URL.

--> when we use service end points?

As far as i know for SOAP o HTTP scenarios

--> How to create it?

Inside PI there are automatically generated.

Hi Bhargava,

Service end point is the url from webservice which you can use to consume the webservice.

End Point - An association between a binding and a network address, specified by a URI, that may be used to communicate with an instance of a service. An end point indicates a specific location for accessing a service using a specific protocol and data format.

Link FYR - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb385701(v=vs.90).aspx

Write Click on Sender Agreement and select Display WSDL - for creating WSDL and URL is also generated, in WSDL you can find at the last Service end point for your webservice under soap:address location tag.
