Why and when to perform this task
An IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry node consists of a WebSphere Application Server J2EE application, a store of data (using a relational database management system) referred to as the UDDI database, and a means to connect the application to the data (a data source and related elements). All the data relating to UDDI is stored within the UDDI database and therefore exists irrespective of the UDDI application.
Remove the UDDI application if you no longer want a UDDI facility on a particular WebSphere Application Server (you can subsequently move the UDDI Registry node to a different WebSphere Application Server).
Reinstall the UDDI application if you wish to continue to provide the UDDI facility on a particular WebSphere Application Server.
To reinstall a UDDI Registry node, see Reinstalling the UDDI application. To remove a UDDI application or to remove a UDDI Registry node, see Removing a UDDI Node.
