### **Example: Setting an Operation Name for a Web Service Request**

In this example, we are explaining how to set the operation name to ChangeSizeProduct for a web service request during API testing.

* **Action**: Set operation
* **Input Value**: ChangeSizeProduct
  * The input value (**ChangeSizeProduct**) specifies the operation name that should be applied to the web service request. The action configures the web service to use this operation for subsequent API execution.
* **Output Value**: N/A
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Set operation** action reads the value from the **Input Value** column (**ChangeSizeProduct**) and applies it as the operation name for the web service call.
