Use the UDDI Custody and Ownership Transfer API to transfer
custody or ownership of one or more entities that are contained in
a UDDI Version 3 registry. The UDDI Version 3 registry supports only
intra-node ownership transfer; it does not support inter-node custody
transfer.
To access all API calls and arguments that are
supported by the UDDI Version 3 registry programmatically, use the
UDDI Version 3 Client for Java.
To access the API functions graphically, you can use the UDDI user
interface, but not all functions are available with this method.
The
UDDI Version 3 registry supports the following Custody and Ownership
Transfer API calls:
- discard_transferToken
- Discards a transferToken that is obtained through the get_transferToken
API.
- get_transferToken
- Initiates the transfer of ownership of one or more businessEntity
or tModel entities from one publisher to another. When the API is
invoked, no transfer takes place. Instead, the relinquishing publisher
uses this API to obtain permission from the custodial node, in the
form of a transferToken, to undertake the transfer. The relinquishing
publisher gives the transferToken to the recipient publisher, who
must invoke the transfer_entities API to transfer the entities.
- transfer_entities
- Performs the transfer of entities when called by the recipient
publisher. The recipient publisher must specify an unexpired transferToken
on the call.
For details of the query syntax, refer to the UDDI
Version 3 API specification.
