A web operation is a child object of a web service. It allows you to define the SQL statement of a web service and to display its parameters and result columns.
Creating a Web Operation
You can create a web operation from the property sheet of, or in the Browser under, a web service.
Web Operation Properties
To view or edit a web operation's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.
Web Operation Result Columns
Result columns are sub-objects of web operations. They are part of the SQL statement defined in the Implementation tab of a web operation property sheet, and belong to a table in the target database. They are listed in the Result Columns tab of a web operation property sheet.
