Importing Business Services From a UDDI Registry

You can import the following business service types from a UDDI registry into ALSB:

If you only have one registry configured, ALSB automatically connects to that registry and retrieves all the business entities and populates the search form. If you have more than one registry configured, the import wizard prompts you to first select the registry from which you want to import services.

On import, the inquiry URL is used to locate a specific service as a registry has several different types of services.

  1. If you have not already done so, click Create to create a new session or click Edit to enter an existing session. See Using the Change Center.
  2. Select System Administration > Import From UDDI.
  3. From the Import Registry Name drop-down list, select the name of the registry from which you want to import the service, then click Next.
  4. When a single registry is configured in ALSB, the initial registry selection page is not displayed as this is the default registry. The registry selection page is only displayed when two or more registries are defined.

    Use the Import From UDDI page to search for specific business services and import them. You can search for a service by business entity, by pattern, or by using a combination of both.

  5. Select the business entity name (for example, document Services) from the Entity Name drop-down list to search by business entity.
  6. In the Service Name field, enter the pattern (for example, a%) for which you want to search. A list of business services matching the entered search criteria is displayed.
  7. Select the service(s) that you want to import, then click Next.
  8. If you are unable to find a desired service, it may be because you do not belong to the security group with permissions to view its records.

  9. Select the binding templates from which you want to create business services, then click Next.
  10. If a selected service has multiple binding templates, then each of these binding templates results in a business service. In this case you will be prompted to further narrow your selection among the binding templates you want to import.

  11. On the Import UDDI: Select Import Location page select a project from the Project drop-down list, select a folder where you want to import your services and associated resources, then click Next.
  12. The Import UDDI: Review and Import Services page displays a list of all of the resources (business services, MFLs, schemas, WSDLs, and so on) that will be created in the system. A warning message is displayed for any resource that cannot be imported.
    By default, all the items in the list are marked for import.
    1. Clear the check box next to a specific resource if you already have the resource in your system and want to manually resolve the dependencies.
    2. You can resolve dependencies from the View Conflicts page in the Change Center after the import process is complete. For more information on viewing and resolving conflicts, see Viewing and Resolving Conflicts.
  13. Click Import to start the import process.
  14. A pop-up window is displayed indicating the progress of the import. When the import is complete, the Import Summary page displays the result of the import. A success message is displayed at the top of the page if the import was successful. If one or more resources could not be imported, an error message is displayed.

    • Go to the Status column for the resource to view the cause of the error.
    • To view and resolve additional conflicts, click View Conflicts.
  15. To import more services, click Import Another.
  16. To make changes to your selections, click Back.
