Creating a UDDI Registry Connection Profile

Create a UDDI Registry connection profile, which contains the connection information for a UDDI server, to use a UDDI registry in your project.

Note: If you change the connection properties of a connection profile that is already connected, the profile immediately disconnects from the resources and automatically attempts to reconnect using the updated information.
  1. In Enterprise Explorer, right-click the server type or enterprise resource for which you want to create a connection profile and select New.
  2. On the Wizard Selection page, select the appropriate connection profile type and click Next.
  3. Enter a name and description for the connection profile, and click Next.

    Field Description
    Name Enter a unique and descriptive name for the connection profile.
    Description (Optional) Enter a profile description that helps you distinguish it from others.
    Auto-Connect at Startup (Optional) Connect automatically to the server and display its contents in Enterprise Explorer when Sybase WorkSpace starts.
  4. Complete the following information on the wizard page:

    Commonly Used Registries Select one of the available templates, for example, XMethods.

    To set up templates for commonly used registries, select Window > Preferences and select Sybase, Inc > UDDI > Registry Profiles from the left pane.

    Inquiry URL Enter the URL used to connect to the UDDI registry for searching, for example, http://uddi.trysybase.com/uddi/inquiry .

    If you selected a preconfigured template from the Commonly Used Registries menu, do not change the Inquiry URL.

    Publish URL Enter the URL used to connect to the UDDI registry for posting services, for example, http://uddi.trysybase.com/uddi/publish .

    If you selected a preconfigured template from the Commonly Used Registries menu, do not change the Publish URL.

    If the Publish URL is blank, you cannot publish to this UDDI registry.

    User ID Enter the UDDI server login you received when you applied for access to this UDDI registry, for example, usr7421 .
    Password Specify the password you received when you applied for access to this UDDI registry.
  5. Click Test Inquiry URL Connection. The message Ping Succeeded appears. If an error appears, check the URL or contact the UDDI administrator.
  6. (Optional, only for users with publishing rights) Click Test Publish URL Connection. The message Ping Succeeded appears. If an error message appears, it means you are not allowed to publish services to this UDDI registry. If you believe this is incorrect, contact the UDDI administrator.
  7. Click Finish to create the connection profile.

    The connection profile displays under the appropriate category in the Enterprise Explorer.
