• Key Concepts: 
  Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based language used to describe the services offered by a web service. It is used to define the operations, messages, and data types that are exchanged between the web service and its clients. WSDL is used in the SAP Enterprise Portal Global Portal (EP-PIN-GP) to define the services that are available for use by external applications. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  In order to use WSDL in the EP-PIN-GP, you must first create a WSDL document that describes the services that you want to offer. This document should include information about the operations, messages, and data types that will be exchanged between the web service and its clients. Once you have created your WSDL document, you can then upload it to the EP-PIN-GP and make it available for use by external applications. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating your WSDL document, it is important to ensure that all of the information is accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that your web service is able to provide the services that you have specified in your WSDL document. Additionally, it is important to keep your WSDL document up-to-date as new services are added or existing services are modified.
