WSDL url changed

Hi Experts,

In my project, one of the ABAP consumer proxy, web service URL has got changed. Initially I thought that I could change the logical port configurations in SOAMANAGER and I am done. But I can see that in SE80, the WSDL file has the URL hardcoded into it.

So I need to regenerate the proxy in SE80. As the URL is different for production, I cannot transport the proxy from development.

In such a case, do I need to regenerate the proxy manually in production too. Is that a best practice or any other better way exists.

As it will take me lot of approvals for me to change anything in production manually.

Please advise.

Thanks
