Web Services tester is located in Solution Manager > Integration folder.
Target Applications The applications you want to test separated with semicolon. Formats
host:port and host:port/module are allowed.
Note: Web Services Tester is one of the internal systems and as
such implies some limitation, e.g. doesn’t work with single-sign-on. By
default the Target Application field is filled with the web server name and
port configured for client accesses that not necessarily is the same as the
one configured for internal systems. If your system is defined with two
different web servers, use the one configured for internal systems here.
