Create Permanent DLL
-
Save as DLL
Check this to create a permanent DLL. When the Web Service Access Tool is configured it creates a DLL (named below) that is used to call the web service. This results in a considerable time savings. If this tool is not checked, it will recreate the necessary web service access data every time it calls the web service. The disadvantage to checking this is that if the web service changes, the DLL must be deleted or use a different name below to reconfigure the tool.
-
DLL Name
Enter the name of the DLL that will be created upon first access to the web service. This name must end with .DLL.
