You can specifically publish individual service definitions from the SOA Manager to the Services Registry.

Prerequisites

A connection to the Services Registry has already been created and configured.

Procedure

To publish a specific service definition, perform the following steps:

  1. From the SOA Manager main screen, go to the Technical Configuration tab.

  2. Choose Publication Administration.

  3. Specify the target Services Registry.

    By default, the primary Services Registry is displayed.

  4. You can select the following options:

    Force Publications

    The service is published even if it was already published.

    Background publication

    A background job is scheduled to publish the service. The service is not published immediately.

    Synchronize services after publication

    The most recent service definitions and endpoints are copied from the back-end system to the Services Registry. Obsolete information is removed from the Services Registry.

    Hide physical system

    In the Services Registry, physically delete all the service definitions and endpoints that originate from your current back-end system.

  5. Choose Publish.

    The service definition with its endpoint is published, and the publication log is displayed.

    Service definitions are published to the Services Registry in accordance with the active publication rules as described in the section: Creating and Editing Publication Rules in the Back-end System. If no rule is assigned to a Services Registry, all the services with their endpoints are used as publication criteria.

  6. To display the publication results, go to the Logs and Traces tab, then choose SOA Publication Log viewer.

    Alternatively, you can use transaction SLG1 with the object ESREGISTRY.

Note Note

You can also publish services using transaction WSPUBLISH.

Transaction WSPUBLISH provides the same functionality as the Publication Administration option in the SOA Manager. You can use WSPUBLISH in situations where you require detailed options to schedule a background job.

End of the note.
