You can remove the UDDI registry application, delete the
UDDI registry database, move a UDDI registry to another server or
profile, or remove a UDDI registry node completely.
About this task
A UDDI registry node consists of the following elements:
- An enterprise application.
- A store of data that is referred to as the UDDI registry database
and that uses a relational database management system.
- A way to connect the application to the data, that is, a data
source and related elements.
All the data that relates to UDDI is stored in the UDDI database
and therefore that data is separate from the UDDI application. Therefore,
there are several options when you remove a UDDI registry node:
- You can remove a UDDI registry node from the application server
without deleting the database. You delete only the UDDI application
and any associated resources, such as the data source, and J2EE Connector
Architecture (J2C) authentication data if it is used. You might do
this if you no longer want a UDDI facility on a particular application
server. You can then move the UDDI registry node to a different application
server. Alternatively, you might do this so that you can reinstall
the application, for example because it has become corrupted, or to
apply service changes.
- You can delete the UDDI registry database. You might do this for
the following reasons:
- You want to use a different database product as the persistence
store for the UDDI data.
- You want to delete all the UDDI registry data and publish fresh
data, for example after you complete a test cycle.
- You want to initialize the UDDI registry node with new UDDI property
settings, for example, to move from a default UDDI node to a customized
UDDI node.
When you delete a UDDI registry database, all UDDI data for that
UDDI registry is lost.
- You can move a UDDI registry to another server or profile. You
might do this after you create a new profile and you want to move
the UDDI registry to the new profile.
- You can remove a UDDI registry node completely from an application
server. You remove the UDDI registry application, the UDDI registry
database, and the resources that are used to reference the UDDI registry
database. You might do this to remove a UDDI registry that is used
for testing after testing has finished.
To start a new UDDI registry node, you do not need to remove
the UDDI application. Instead, you create a new replacement node by
changing the data source that the UDDI application uses to access
the new UDDI database.
Depending on what you want to do, complete
one of the following steps.
Procedure
What to do next
If you removed a UDDI registry node from the application
server without deleting the database, you might want to reinstall
the UDDI registry application.
