  5. Ensure that the external OMS simulator has been successfully enabled by navigating to the following URL: http://hostname:9980/ExtOMSSimWeb/services/ExtOMSSim?wsdl
  6. Use a Web services client, for example, Rational Application Developer's Web Services Explorer, to test the external OMS simulator.
