Removing a UDDI registry node
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
- 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.
- 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 for the following reasons:
- 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.
- You want to reinstall the application, for example to apply service changes or because the application has been corrupted.
- You can delete the UDDI registry database. If you do this, all
UDDI data for that UDDI registry is lost. 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.
- You can move a UDDI registry to another
server or profile.
You might do this after you create a 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.
