If you have enabled the sample SOA best practices library,
you can activate a preconfigured collection of lifecycles for your
community that support a service-oriented architecture environment
for asset development.
Procedure
- Log in to the web application.
- Click Administration.
- Click the name of the community.
- Click Master Lifecycles.
- In the Lifecycles section, click Import SOA
Lifecycle.
- Optional: Configure a connection to WebSphere
Service Registry and Repository:
- In the Websphere Service Registry and Repository Configuration
section, select Configure policies with lifecycles to work
with Websphere Service Registry and Repository.
- In the Connection list, select
the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository connection to use. If you have not configured a connection, click New
Connection. For more information about configuring a connection
to WebSphere Service Registry and Repository, see Connecting to WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. This will apply the included ALE policy to every
action such as Entrance to State to every state in the lifecycles.
For more information on the ALE policy, see Policies for lifecycles.
- Click OK.
Results
The SOA lifecycle collection will create and configure
six lifecycles:
- Business Solution: A workflow to identify, propose, and revise
charters for new assets of the Business Solution type.
- Release: A one-way workflow for assets of the Release asset
type.
- Specification: A workflow for assets of the Specification asset
type, with policies to require .wsdl and .xsd artifacts.
- Business Case: A workflow for assets of the Business
Case asset type to review the merits for starting a project.
- Implementation: A workflow for assets of the Implementation asset
type to realize or execute projects, designs, or standards.
- Document of Understanding (DoU): A workflow for assets of the DoU asset
type for agreements between providers and consumers.
You can modify the SOA lifecycles to better align with
the processes of your community or organization. For more information
on configuring custom lifecycles, see Creating master lifecycles.
