Administer the UDDI registry

We can set up and deploy a UDDI registry, then remove, reinstall, or apply an upgrade to a UDDI registry. We can configure SOAP API and GUI services for the UDDI registry. We can use the administrative console or the JMX management interface to manage UDDI registries.

• Set up and deploy a new UDDI registry
  

• Remove a UDDI registry node
  

• Reinstall the UDDI registry application
  

• Apply an upgrade to the UDDI registry
  

• Configure SOAP API and GUI services for the UDDI registry

Subtopics

• Set up and deploying a new UDDI registry
  A UDDI registry node consists of the UDDI registry application (an enterprise application supplied as part of WAS), a store of data (using a relational database management system) referred to as the UDDI database, and a means to connect the application to the data (a data source and related elements). To set up a new UDDI registry, we create the UDDI database and data source, and deploy the supplied application.

• Remove a UDDI registry node
  We 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.

• Reinstalling the UDDI registry application
  We can remove and reinstall an existing UDDI registry application to change the UDDI application code but continue to provide UDDI services with the existing UDDI database.

• Apply an upgrade to the UDDI registry
  We can apply an interim fix, a fix pack, or a refresh pack to the UDDI registry.

• Configure SOAP API and GUI services for the UDDI registry
  For SOAP (API) and graphical user interface (GUI) UDDI services, we can configure whether the service is secure. For Version 1 and Version 2 SOAP API services, we can also configure the default pool size.

• Manage the UDDI registry
  We can use the WAS administrative console or the JMX management interface to manage all the policies and properties of the UDDI registry.

• UDDI registry administrative (JMX) interface
  We can use the UDDI registry administrative interface to inspect and manage the runtime configuration of a UDDI application. Manage the information about a UDDI node and its activation state, update properties and policies, set publish tier limits, register UDDI publishers, and control value set support.

• User-defined value set support in the UDDI registry
  We can define multiple value sets and add custom value sets to the UDDI Version 3 registry. In UDDI Version 2, this feature was called custom taxonomy support.

• UDDI Utility Tools
  The UDDI Utility Tools is a suite of functions that we can use to migrate, move, or copy UDDI Version 2 entities, including child entities and their respective Version 2 entity keys, into a Version 3 UDDI registry.
