Manage the UDDI registry

We can use the WebSphere Application Server dmgr console or the JMX management interface to manage all the policies and properties of the UDDI registry. We can use JMX to monitor and configure UDDI registries programmatically, and use the UDDI registry administrative interface.

To manage UDDI nodes programmatically, we can use the following interfaces and tools:

• UDDI registry administrative (JMX) interface

  The UDDI registry administrative (JMX) interface provides a Java API used to manage runtime configuration settings to control UDDI registry runtime behavior, such as setting the maximum number of results that UDDI users can receive for inquiry requests, or creating publish limits for UDDI publishers. Sample client code is provided for you to build on.

• User-defined value sets

  The UDDI v3 registry provides tools used to manage our own categorization value sets, including loading value set data into a UDDI registry node. If we add custom value sets, UDDI entities can be categorized more specifically when they are published, so that clients can find specific data more efficiently.

• UDDI Utility Tools

  The UDDI Utility Tools is a suite of functions and a Java API used to promote v2 entities from one UDDI registry to another while retaining entity keys. This capability is particularly useful for publishing canonical tModels with a predefined key.

To manage UDDI registries using the dmgr console, start from the UDDI link in the navigation pane of the dmgr console. If administrative security is enabled, you must log in to the dmgr console and supply a valid user ID and password, to use the UDDI management functions. We can complete the following operations:

• View and manage the status of all UDDI nodes in a cell.
• Initialize UDDI nodes with required settings.

• Configure general properties that affect UDDI runtime behavior.
• Manage UDDI policy settings.

• Create, view and update UDDI publishers.

• Create, view and update publisher tiers that limit how many UDDI entries can be published.
• View and manage the status of value sets.

Subtopics

• Back up and restore the UDDI registry database
  To protect the data in your UDDI registry database, we can back up and restore the database using the facilities of the database product that your UDDI node is on.
• UDDI node page
  We can manage the UDDI nodes in this cell. Each UDDI node represents an individual UDDI registry application. A UDDI node is displayed in this list only if its underlying UDDI application is started. The status of the UDDI node can indicate whether the node is activated (available to accept API requests), deactivated (not allowing user requests), or not initialized. UDDI nodes that are not initialized require some properties to be set before they can be initialized and activated.
