Modify the configuration details for a UDDI reference that has
been configured for use with service integration bus-enabled 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 obey 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.
