The Endpoint URL can be mapped to a project specific environment variable.

Service Configuration
|
Click this button to invoke the Microsoft WCF Service Configuration Editor tool. The Microsoft WCF Service Configuration Editor tool is used to modify WCFClient\WCFClient_Resource\client.configuration file; where parameters like openTimeout, receiveTimeout, sendTimeout, maxBufferSize, maxReceivedMessageSize and proxyAddress could be set if/when required for any particular WCF service. Magic xpi searches for the Service Configuration Editor tool according to the value assigned to the Magic.ini file's SvcConfigEditor flag. If the Service Configuration Editor is not found in this location, Magic xpi will then try to locate it according to the value given to the Magic.ini file's SVCUtil flag.
