Assets that contain web services documents can be published
to WebSphere® Service Registry and Repository
(WSRR).
Before you begin
Before assets can be published, administrators must configure
the URL for the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
server and create a connection for the community that the asset resides
in. Assets to be published must be in the "Approved" state before
they can be published. Only one asset can be published at a time.
Important: Users must have the publish permission in order to
publish assets. If the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository server
requires access permissions, then the WebSphere repository account
that was used to make the connection must have "create" permission
to publish assets.
Procedure
To publish an asset:
- On the asset's General Details page, click the Publish
to service registry link. The Publish
wizard opens.
- Specify the following on the pages of the wizard:
- The artifacts to publish
- The WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
connection to use
- The categories from the web services registry
to use to classify the asset
- Any associated or dependent artifacts
- On the Confirm page, click Publish.
Results
The asset is published to the WebSphere Services
Registry and Repository server as a service description concept. That
concept derives from a template that includes a reference back to
the asset in the Rational® Asset Manager repository.
What to do next
If you update the asset or artifacts in Rational Asset
Manager, you must update the version number and publish the asset
again; the concept in WebSphere Services Registry
and Repository will not update if the repositories synchronize. If
you do not update the version number, you will receive an error that
the asset already exists.
