UDDI Registry Application Programming Interface

The IBM WebSphere UDDI Version 3 Registry supports multiple versions of UDDI. In addition to UDDI Version 3, it supports UDDI Version 1 and Version 2.

For details of the Version 1 and Version 2 API, visit http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/doc/tcspecs.htm#uddiv2.

For details of the UDDI Version 3.0.2 API, visit http://uddi.org/pubs/uddi_v3.htm.

The UDDI Registry information in this information center defines the support provided by the IBM WebSphere UDDI Registry for the UDDI Version 3.0.2 specification and associated addenda.

The following UDDI Version 3 API sets are supported:

• The UDDI V3 Inquiry API

• The UDDI V3 Publish API

• The UDDI V3 Custody and Ownership Transfer API

• The UDDI V3 Security API

Note: There is a known restriction within DB2 for zSeries Version 7 that limits the length of publish and inquiry strings to 255 characters. Exceeding this limit will result in an Error 10500 (E_Fatal) error being returned. If you use a character set that uses multiple byte characters, this limit can very easily be exceeded. Care must be taken when using these character sets.
