Registry Manager

The Registry Manager maintains a set of registries for caching WebSphere Commerce runtime data. Each registry provides methods to enable adding, deleting, and refreshing of the registry content. These methods are available to the URL interface using the ListRegistry and the RefreshRegistry commands.

If the data in the tables associated with a registry is changed, refresh that registry for the change to take effect. For example, if a new entry is added to the Struts Configuration , the UrlRegistry has to be refreshed. Otherwise, the WebSphere Commerce runtime environment does not recognize the new URL.

This table shows the registries available by default in the Administration Console. The list of registry components, their usage, and their associated database table, class, or file is as follows.

Registry component	Usage	Associated database table, class, or file
Access Control Policies	Authorizes a group of users to perform a set of actions on a set of resources within WebSphere Commerce. Unless authorized within one or more access control policies, users have no access to any functions of the system.	ACPOLGPPOL, ACPLGPSUBS
Access Control Policy Groups	Each WebSphere Commerce business model has its own set of access control policies. In order to group the sets of policies within the models, policy groups were created. Policies are explicitly assigned to appropriate policy groups and then organizations can subscribe to one or more of these policy groups.	ACPOLGPPOL, ACPOLGRP
Access Control Resources	The entities that are protected by access control. For example, if the action is a view, the resource to be protected is the command that invoked the view, such as com.ibm.commerce.command.ViewCommand. For access control purposes, resources are grouped into resource groups.	ACRESPRIM, ACRESGPRES,ACRESACT, ACRESCGRY, ACRESREL, ACRESGRP, ACRESATREL
Business Context Configuration Registry	Defines the different business contexts available to the site, and the business context set, which is a logical grouping of business contexts for a particular type of request. If no business context set is defined for the request, the default business context set is used.	Business context configuration file
Business Policy	Business policies. Sets of rules followed by a store or group of stores that define business processes, industry practices, and the scope and characteristics of a store's or group of stores' offerings	POLICY, POLICYCMD
Business Policy Price List	Caches the relationship between TCs and their related policy IDs and price lists under a specified store.	TERMCOND POLICYTC POLICY
Calculation	Calculation rules, methods, ranges for coupon, discount, shipping, and taxes. Note: The Calculation registry component is updated automatically when a promotion is created, activated, deactivated, or deleted. The Calculation registry manages several caches of calculation-related data elements. By default, each cache can hold up to a maximum size of 300 elements. Element eviction occurs on a least recently used basis when the limit is reached.	CALRULE, CALMETHOD, CALSCALE, CALRANGE, CALRLOOKUP, STENCALUSG, and CALCODE (where only the default calculationCodes are cached), TAXCGRY, CATENCALCD CATGPCALCD CALCODEMGP, CALRULEMGP SHPJCRULE, TAXJCRULE CRULESCALE This registry must be refreshed whenever coupon, discount, shipping, or taxation configuration is changed.

Used by priceListOwnerId and priceListName to get PriceListId and verifies whether the specific priceListId is already in the cache.
