Consuming Web Services in InfoPath Part 4: Configuring Form Services

Next, you need to configure Form Services to use Web Proxy...

1. Navigate to your data connection library. Save a copy of the Universal Data Connection file somewhere in your harddisk.
2. Navigate to Central Administration
3. Under "Application Management" -> "InfoPath Forms Services", click on "Manage the Web service proxy"
4. Check "Enable the Web service proxy"
5. Click [OK]
6. Open up the UDC file you have saved in your local harddisk.
7. Depending what your web services does... For readonly web services, look at udc:SelectCommand. For writeonly web services, look at udc:UpdateCommand. For both directions, look at both. :p Anyway, set the "UseFormServiceProxy" attribute to true.
8. Under "Application Management" -> "InfoPath Forms Services", click on "Manage data connection files"
9. Upload the updated UDC file here.
10. Test your form, and it should work now...

There is something I can't figure out... Why is there no data connection file in central admin when I selected Centrally Managed...
