From SAP NW04s SP14, new service definitions in the ABAP development environment are no longer administered using transactions WSADMIN and WSCONFIG.

The transactions WSADMIN and WSCONFIG will remain active until all old web service configurations have been migrated, which means you can continue to configure web services from 6.40, NW04s, and web service definitions from the XI 3.0 environment. You can also continue to access the runtime configurations of old service definitions using these transactions.

However, new service definitions created in the ABAP development environment will be hidden in these transactions.

Going forward SOAMANAGER (SOA = Service Oriented Architecture) for the administration of new service definitions.

This Blog speaks or guides, how one can test web services using SOA manager transaction.
