Changing an SCA import binding

In some cases, you can change the import bindings of mediation modules from WebSphere Process Server. You can change import bindings if they are SCA import bindings or web service import bindings, but not if they are other types of bindings.

Why and when to perform this task

To change SCA import bindings of mediation modules, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.
Note: Mediation modules are types of Service Component Architecture (SCA) modules.

Steps for this task

  1. List the SCA modules. In the navigation pane, expand Applications > SCA Modules.
  2. Choose an SCA module.
  3. List the SCA module imports. In the content pane, under Module components, expand Imports.
  4. Display import details. In the content pane, under Module components expand the import you require.
  5. Display import bindings. Expand Binding.
  6. Choose an SCA import binding. SCA import bindings are indicated using the identifier [SCA].
  7. Choose a new target SCA module. Select a module from the Target drop-down menu. Selecting a different SCA module changes the exports and export interfaces that are displayed.
  8. Choose an export. Select an export from the Export drop-down menu.
  9. Save your changes to the master configuration.

Result

The SCA import binding is changed for the selected SCA module import.

WebSphere Process Server issues a warning for each import interface that is not satisfied by an export interface. WebSphere Process Server compares the WSDL (Web Services Description Language) port type names of import and export. If the port type names are not the same a warning is issued, but you are allowed to ignore the warning. However, if the port type names match WebSphere Process Server assumes that the operations provided are equivalent and no warning is issued.
