Updating SCA composite artifacts

You can view and update Service Component Architecture (SCA) composite artifacts in business-level applications.

Before you begin

Add an SCA artifact as a composition unit to a business-level application.

About this task

You can view and update the following SCA composite artifacts:

You can view and update SCA composite artifacts using the administrative console or the wsadmin tool. This topic describes how to view and update SCA composite artifacts using the administrative console.

Procedure

  1. Go to the composition unit settings page for an SCA composite artifact in a business-level application.

    Click Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > application_name > SCA_deployed_asset_composition_unit_name .

    The composition unit settings page for an SCA composite artifact has fields that are not shown on the composition unit settings page for a non-SCA artifact:
    • SCA composite components
    • SCA composite properties
    • SCA composite wires
  2. Click on a name link in one of these SCA fields to view the settings for an SCA artifact.

    The SCA fields display None instead of a name link if the composition unit does not have that particular type of SCA composite.

  3. Optional: Update a SCA composite setting value.
    1. Change an existing setting value for the SCA artifact.
    2. Click OK.
    The setting value is updated.

Example

Example: Creating an SCA business-level application with the console describes how to create the HelloWorldAsync business-level application. This application contains an SCA artifact, helloworldws, as a composition unit. You can view and update settings for SCA composites in the helloworldws composition unit using the console.

  1. Go to the composition unit settings page for the helloworldws composition unit in the HelloWorldAsync business-level application.

    Click Applications > Application Types > Business-level applications > HelloWorldAsync > helloworldws.

    From the composition unit settings page, you can view information associated with helloworldws, as well as update composite settings.

  2. Click on a link for the SCA artifact to be viewed or updated.

    For example, click on the HelloWorldServiceComponent link under SCA composite components and, in the page that displays, click on the HelloWorldService link under Service. In the Component service settings page that displays, you can specify a setting value for the service.

  3. If you update a setting value for the SCA artifact, click OK.

What to do next

Save the changes to your administrative configuration.

On multiple-server products, when saving the configuration, synchronize the configuration with the nodes where the application is expected to run.
