How to migrate a Web Service between environments

Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to use to migrate a Web Service from my Dev server to my Prod server?

I created a project, application, service, and operation in Dev and deployed the application (as a Web Service). If I then export the application (Web Service) from Dev and import it to Prod it is successful; however, I then have to update each of my operations to point to the parallel job on my Prod server.

Obviously, if I have more than a few operations, this will be time consuming. So, is there a standard method to export a Web Service from Dev and import it to Prod?

Thanks.

Welcome aboard. This is not an Information Analyzer question, as one simply does not have the capacity to publish profiling jobs as web services.

I don't know the answer to your question - hopefully someone else will - but sometimes you simply do have to consume time to so things. The preferred deployment tools is Information Server Manager, the command line for which is istool. Search DSXchange or the manuals to find the syntax for this command.

I don't think istool supports ISD services yet..... Can we assume that you are talking about 8.x ISD services? (as opposed to RTI in 7.x)?
