Setting up a customized UDDI node

You can set up a UDDI node with your own properties, including the mandatory node properties. This type of UDDI node is suitable for production purposes.

About this task

You can set up a customized UDDI node with property values that you choose. After the node is initialized, you cannot change the mandatory node properties, for example, the node ID.
Note: If you deploy the UDDI registry application into a cluster, and you want to use an Apache Derby database, you must use the network version of the Apache Derby database. Embedded Apache Derby is not supported for cluster configurations.

Procedure

  1. Review the information in Databases and production use of the UDDI registry to decide which database system to use, then create a database schema to hold the UDDI registry by completing one of the following tasks. Do not use the default node options where specified.
    Note: If you are creating the UDDI node in a cluster, it is assumed that a single database is used for all members of the cluster.
  2. Set up a data source for the UDDI registry application to use to access the database, as described in Creating a data source for the UDDI registry.
  3. Deploy the UDDI registry application, as described in Deploying the UDDI registry application.
  4. [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]For a DB2 database, stop the server if it is running. Edit the user profile for the DB2 user that starts the node agent or server. Modify the user profile to run the db2profile script, which is located in the root directory of the DB2 user ID (for example, /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile). Alternatively, you can run the db2profile script manually, but you must do this every time that you restart the node agent or server. Enter the following command (there is a single space character after the period in this command):
    . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
  5. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications to display the installed applications. Start the UDDI registry application by selecting the check box next to the application name and clicking Start. Alternatively, if the application server is not already running, start the application server. This action automatically starts the UDDI registry application. The UDDI node is now active.

    If you restart the UDDI application or the application server, the UDDI node always reactivates, even if the node was previously deactivated.

What to do next

Because you chose a user-customized UDDI node, you must set the properties for the UDDI node by using UDDI administration, and initialize the node, before it is ready to accept UDDI requests. See Initializing the UDDI registry node for details.
