Configuration profiles
A WSRR configuration profile contains a complete set of
WSRR configuration files. Configuration profiles are used for backup,
restore and management of entire sets of WSRR configuration.
Configuring access control
WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository (WSRR) makes use of role based access control
for J2EE roles and for access control policies at a fine grained level.
Both these depend on defining roles based on principals drawn from
a user registry such as LDAP or the underlying operating system.
Configuring classification systems
Classification classes are used to organize and find artifacts
in WSRR. WSRR allows you to create and modify classification systems
that contain these classes.
Configuring business models
You can load a business model system into WSRR by using
the Configuration perspective. You can also export an existing business
model system to another location, or delete it.
Configuring templates
Templates are now deprecated. The preferred method is to
create business models based on OWL rather than templates based on
XML schema. Schema-based templates will still operate if required.
Configuring the web UI The web user interface
for WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository (WSRR) is displayed in a screen divided into
four areas.
Configuring the WebSphere MQ integration feature
The WebSphere MQ Integration feature extends the existing WSDL shredding capabilities
of WebSphere Service Registry
and Repository (WSRR) to provide WebSphere MQ WSDL parsing. This feature is provided in the governance
enablement profile.
Configuring the WSRR provided plug-ins
Some of the WSRR provided plug-ins are required for correct WSRR behavior,
and some are optional. All are installed by default.
Promotion
Using the promotion feature, you can manage content, relating
to multiple deployment environments, in a central WSRR instance and
have subsets of that content copied automatically to environment-specific
WSRR instances in response to lifecycle transitions.
Text Search
Text search provides an enhanced search facility. Use text
search to search metadata and document content in WSRR.
Scheduler framework
The scheduler framework is an EJB component that provides
the ability to configure different types of scheduled tasks. The tasks
are controlled by scheduler configuration XML files.
Service discovery
The service discovery mechanism automatically searches
a target application environment for services and then loads the corresponding
WSDL documents into WSRR.
UDDI synchronization
The UDDI synchronization feature in WSRR provides a means
of mapping entities in a WSRR repository to corresponding entities
in one or more UDDI V3.0.2 registries (your UDDI registries must support UDDI V3.0.2).
Named queries
You can define named queries, and then call these queries
from any of the WSRR APIs.
Policy analytics
The policy analytics feature stores event data relating to the enforcement of policies
that have been defined in the governance policy validator. You can then view this data graphically,
by using the Business Space user interface. You can, for example, see the percentage policy pass and failure rates over a
specified period.
Atom plug-in framework
You can use the WSRR Atom plug-in framework to deploy Atom
Publishing Protocol (APP) API implementations to WSRR. Then, WSRR
will return Atom feeds in response to appropriate HTTP requests.
Subscription notifier
You use a subscription notifier to send a notification
message automatically when a user operation takes place in relation
to a WSRR object, Saved Search, or Named
Query; for example, loading a WSDL document, transitioning a
business service to a new lifecycle state. You can also specify conditions
to filter the objects for which notification messages are sent; for
example, all version 1.0 entities that are classified as being in
the "Created" state.
Policy sets
A policy set is defined as a collection of assertions about
how services are defined, which can be used to simplify security configurations.
Developing a custom action
You can develop a custom action, and configure it to be
displayed in the web UI in several different ways: as a button, a
link on a detail view, a menu bar item, an item in the navigation
tree, or as a directory entry on the Home page. When a user clicks
the action, the results are displayed in the web UI.
Configuring Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL and WSRR
If you are using Tivoli® Access
Manager WebSEAL with WSRR you must create transparent path junctions
for the context roots of the components that you are using.
