UDDI

MDM-RE web services can be registered with UDDI.

Enabling UDDI registration

UDDI registration will not be carried out unless it has been enabled. This is done either though setting a number of environment variables, or with an XML configuration file.

UDDI Environment Variables

You must add these environment variables to

env\mdmres.bat

(Windows) or

env/mdmres

(UNIX).

The environment variables are used by the Web Services servers, not the clients.

SSA_UDDI_DICT: The UDDI configuration file. If this is provided, its contents will take priority over the other environment variables.

SSA_UDDI_BUSINESS_NAME: The UDDI Business Name. The name of the party publishing the service.

SSA_UDDI_UID: The userid to log on to UDDI with.

SSA_UDDI_PWD: The password for logging on to the UDDI publisher.

SSA_UDDI_URL_INQUIRE: The UDDI inquiry URL, which is probably something like,
http://uddi/uddipublic/inquire.asmx

SSA_UDDI_URL_PUBLISH: The UDDI publisher URL, which is probably something like,
http://uddi/uddipublic/publish.asmx

UDDI Configuration file

The configuration file is identified by the environment variable

SSA_UDDI_DICT

. It is an XML file that contains cards for the UDDI environment. These cards have the same corresponding values as the similarly named environment variables.

The UDDI configuration file uses the namespace:

http://www.identitysystems.com/xmlschema/iss-version-8/uddi

The configuration file is an XML file which looks like this:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This file was generated by:
Program: uddi.c

3ys+F80=</CipherValue>
		</CipherData>
</EncryptedData>
</uddi>

The values are:

business: The UDDI Business Name. The name of the party publishing the service.

inquire: The UDDI inquiry URL, which is probably something like:
http://uddi/uddipublic/inquire.asmx
publish: The UDDI publisher URL, which is probably something like:
http://uddi/uddipublic/publish.asmx
user: The UDDI user, which must be in the UDDI publishers group. This item is encrypted.

password: The UDDI user’s password and this item is encrypted.

UDDI configuration tool

Because the UDDI configuration file contains encrypted elements, it is created using the UDDI configuration tool, which is called

%SSABIN%\uddiconf.exe

on Windows and

$SSABIN/uddiconf

on Unix. It prompts for the required items and creates the file.

UDDI and MDM-RE concepts

MDM-RE concepts are mapped onto UDDI ones.

Business Entity: The UDDI Business entity is that supplied by the user through the
SSA_UDDI_BUSINESS_NAME
environment variable.
Business Service: This will be "Search", "XML Console" or "Synchronizer" depending on the service.

tModel: This will be the MDM-RE system name.

Binding: This will contain:

The access point, which is the URL of the web service server

The search name in the MDM-RE system
The Rulebase name corresponding to the system
The overview document, which I the URL of the WSDL document.

From this, it should be possible to construct a search request.
