(on 8.2 SP1)
Contrary to my understanding the web services do not have a deployment mapping available in the Deployer service.
What is the best practice to remap a webservice connector on a deployment?
Example:
On a development environment, all servers are on server devhost1.lan.
Deployment divides services on a test environment to tstis.lan tstmws.lan tstbrk.lan.
How can a make a portlet that was created in devhost1.lan using a ws on devhost1.lan, deployed on tstmws.lan and use a ws on tstis.lan using only the administration consoles (IS/mws)?
Thanks.
SOLVED. 
Hi,
Going through the forums, and with help with friends (thanks Maarten Bos) and SAG I have been able to solve this.
The problem still remains: webMethods Deployer cannot change a portlet property on the Deploy Map. (Maybe on a next fix? Please?).
The workaround:
From wmusers.com and Change Target URL of a consumer webservice - webMethods - Software AG Tech Community & Forums
- In the web connector in your portlet, define the Endpoint Address property as
#{environment["wsclient-endpointAddress"]}/<Full name of the WSD on the IS>
(put a slash there to separate the variable from the wsd name).
-
the the the Full Name property on the properties view when you select the WSD from the Package Navigator (or you can copy/paste from the WSD to the text field as usual)
-
Publish the portlet and deploy it
-
Go the target MwMS and, as sysadmin, enter Folders > Administrative Folders > Administration Dashboard > Configuration > CAF Application Runtime Configuration > [the name of your application portlet]
-
Change the Web Application/Environment Entries/wsclient-endpointAddress value to match your WS target for that environment (do not end it with a slash/). Example:
http://targethost:5555/ws
I was getting wrong 1) and 5) (the slash…) and confused by the lack of an Portlet/Application entry in the Deploy Map step of the Deployer.
Season’s Greetings.
