Restrictions of the UDDI user console

The user console provides a graphical user interface to the majority of the UDDI Version 2 API. It is not intended to support the full API set. This section documents areas for which support through the user console is not provided, together with other known restrictions of the user console.

• General
  • Help is provided in the form of explanatory text on the screens, but there is no other online help.
  • Maximum rows cannot be specified on finds. The single maximum rows value for the registry can be set through the dbMaxResultCount global configuration property.
  • There is a limitation concerning URL rewriting causing JavaScript syntax errors on several Web pages. Because of this, cookies must be enabled in the client browsers, the application server must have cookies enabled as the session tracking mechanism, and URL rewriting must be disabled.
  • If you add a custom taxonomy to the UDDI Registry (that is, a categorization tModel), it appears in the category tree that is displayed by the UDDI user console as an additional instance of an "other" taxonomy.

• Find business
  • The business identifier feature is not supported.

• Find service type
  • The business identifier feature is not supported.

• Add business
  • The business contact must be supplied as a name and role (no other information is supported).

• Add service type
  • The overview URL can be entered, but only with one description in English.

• Add service
  • There is no support for entering a Hosting Redirector.

Note: The UDDI Version 2 specification states that when a tModel is deleted, it should not be physically deleted. This allows the tModel to be reinstated. One effect of this is that if you delete a tModel using the UDDI user console, the tModel is still visible through the Show Owned Entities display.
