Managing the UDDI Registry

You can use either the WebSphere Application Server administrative console or the Java Management Extensions (JMX) management interface to manage UDDI Registries.

In previous versions of WebSphere Application Server and the UDDI Registry, a properties file was used, but from WebSphere Application Server Version 6, all policies and properties are managed through either the JMX management interface or the administrative console.

JMX can be used to monitor and configure UDDI registries programmatically, and is explained in Using administrative programs (JMX). See UDDI Registry Administrative (JMX) Interface for full details on using the UDDI administrative interface. To manage UDDI registries using the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, start from the UDDI link in the left navigation pane as described below. Using the UDDI management functions available in the WebSphere Application Server administrative console, you can perform 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 which limit how many UDDI entries may be published

• view and manage the status of value sets

If WebSphere Application Server global security is enabled, you will need to log in to the WebSphere Administrative Console, supplying a valid userid and password, in order to use the UDDI management functions.
