I created a data web service on the WSO2 Data Services server, now I would like to use it as a template so I can create more services out of it. Is there a way to copy/paste the service XML to a new one? I would like to skip the wizard mode creation.
Go to service Dashboard and there you have "edit data service (xml edit)" option available. That can be reused to create similar services. create a .dbs file out of that xml content and deploy through upload data service option in the management console (Change the data service's name). Following link would be useful.
