Modify the configuration details for a UDDI reference that
has been configured for use with service integration bus-deployed
Web services.
About this task
A UDDI reference is a pointer to a UDDI registry. This
registry can be a private UDDI registry such as the
IBM® WebSphere® UDDI Registry, or a public
UDDI registry. The service integration technologies interact with
UDDI registries in two ways:
- When you configure an inbound service, you can create entries
for the Web service in one or more UDDI registries.
- When you configure an outbound service, you specify the location
of the target WSDL file that describes the Web service. This WSDL
file can be located at a URL or through a UDDI registry.
To list the UDDI references, and to view and modify their
configuration details, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Start the administrative console.
- In the navigation pane, click .
A list of UDDI references is displayed in a UDDI references
collection form.
- Click the name of a UDDI reference in the list.
The current UDDI reference
settings for this UDDI reference are displayed.
- Modify the following general properties:
- Name
- Modify the name of the UDDI reference. This name must be unique,
and it must follow the following syntax rules:
- It must not start with "." (a period).
- It must not start or end with a space.
- It must not contain any of the following characters: \
/ , # $ @ : ; " * ? < > | = + & % '
Note: When you change a UDDI reference name, the system looks
up all objects that refer to it and updates the name.
- Description
- Modify the (optional) description of the UDDI reference.
- Inquiry URL
- Type the new Web address that provides access to this registry
for the SOAP inquiry API.
- Publish URL
- Type the new Web address that provides access to this registry
for the SOAP publish API.
- Authentication alias
Type the new J2C
authentication alias for the User ID and password of an "Authorized
Name" that has update access to this registry.
The alias
you enter here must match the user ID of the owner of the corresponding
business in the UDDI registry. You can see the owning user ID in
UDDI by looking at the business details under the "Authorized Name" field.
If the alias you enter here does not match the "Authorized Name" value
for the business that owns the service, then the service is not published
or found.
If the business has more than one "Authorized Name",
you might want to set up multiple UDDI references (each with a different
authentication alias) to the same UDDI registry.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
Results
If the processing completes successfully, the list of UDDI
references is redisplayed. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
