UDDI Utility Tools

The UDDI Utility Tools is a suite of functions used to to migrate, move, or copy UDDI V2 entities, including child entities and their respective V2 entity keys, into a V3 UDDI registry.

Note: The UDDI V3 publish API supports publisher assigned keys (the V2 API did not) and promotion of entities between Version 3 registries can be achieved using normal API functions. UDDI Utility Tools supplied in this release is functionally equivalent to the version supplied in WebSphere Application Server 5.1. However, it is important to know that all UDDI Utility Tools functions in this release are performed using the UDDI V2 API. You can export from V2 and 3 registries (supplying only the V2 representation of the UDDI Entity key) and import into the Version 3 registry, using V2 API types. Entities from a V3 registry are exported as V2 entities and, as such, elements such as digital signatures will not be present. See section Saving V3 entities with a supplied key for an example on how to use the V3 API to assign your own keys to Version 3 entities. Other uses of the tool include:

Search and select entities from a source UDDI registry by specifying Version 2 keys or search criteria
Publishing canonical tModels in a UDDI registry, including child entities
Persist UDDI (V2) entities in an intermediate XML representation that can be used to customize and copy those entities to multiple target UDDI Registries, by specifying V2 Keys
Update existing entities in a target UDDI registry, including child entities
Delete selected entities from a target UDDI registry by specifying Version 2 keys

Use the UDDI Utility Tools by running the UDDIUtilityTools.jar file. This file is located in the app_server_root/UDDIReg/scripts directory. Alternatively, you can invoke all of the functions of UDDI Utility Tools through the supplied public Java API. There are five main functions in UDDI Utility Tools:

Export

Given an entity type and key, or a list of entity types and keys, UDDI Utility Tools gets the UDDI entities from the specified registry and writes them to the UDDI Entity Definition File. The entity type for each key can be one of business, service, bindingTemplate or tModel. The Entity Definition File contains XML that exactly describes each of the specified entities, according to the UDDI Utility Tools schema (which includes the UDDI V2 schema). The UDDI Entity Definition File separates entities by type, and automatically detects and records tModels referenced by the specified entities. You can use the 'referenced tModels' section of the file to ensure a target registry includes any referenced tModels before you try to import new entities to that registry.

Import

Given a list of UDDI entities (which can be supplied using the UDDI Entity Definition File generated by the export function, possibly with additional editing, or programmatically in a container object), the import function detects if the entities already exist in the target registry and, if they do not, creates a minimal entity ("stub") with the specified key. The entities are then published updating the stubs with the supplied data and overwriting, or ignoring, existing entities as specified by the user. Note that the original key is maintained throughout.

Promote

Combines the export and import steps such that the specified entities are extracted (by key) from the source registry and then imported into the target registry in a single logical step. The generation of a UDDI Entity Definition File is optional for this function.

Delete

Deletes the specified entities from the target UDDI registry. The entities to delete are specified as an entity type, or a list of entity types, and keys, in the same way as for the export function.

Find Matching Entities

Takes as input search criteria in the form of UDDI Inquiry API objects for each of the various entity types. The set of entities that match the search criteria are used to generate a list of entity keys, and this in turn can be used as input to the export, promote and delete functions.

Note: This function is available only through the programmatic API.

The relationship between the functions, their input and output, and the source and target UDDI Registries is shown in this conceptual overview diagram:

Setting up the configuration file

Configuration data for UDDI Utility Tools resides in a configuration properties file, which describes the runtime environment, UDDI and database locations and access information, logging information, security configuration, entity definition file location, and other flags to control whether referenced entities are to be imported and/or overwritten. UDDI Utility Tools is distributed with a sample configuration properties file (UDDIUtilityTools.properties) and this is searched for by default in the current directory if no properties path is specified. By default, this file is located in the app_server_root/UDDIReg/scripts directory. Modify the file, according to the following list, and specify this modified file when running the utility tools.

Set the classpath, which should include the current directory (.) and the UDDIUtilityTools.jar itself, plus all the dependent jars, which are listed in the Prerequisites section later on in this topic. The classpath must include the database driver jar (for example db2java.zip).
If you are configuring a JSSE provider, add the .jar file which contains the provider to the classpath. The configuration of a JSSE provider is optional and is performed by setting the jsse.provider property. The default value is com.ibm.jsse.IBMJSSEProvider. To specify the FIPS JSSE provider set the value of the jsse.provider property to com.ibm.fips.jsse.IBMJSSEFIPSProvider.
Set other properties, which are commented in the sample UDDIUtilityTools.properties file as shown below.
Change localhost to the name of your server.
Change the port number 9080 to your internal HTTP port.

Prerequisites Ensure that the following .jar files are available to the UDDI Utility Tools. The locations of the .jar files should be specified in the classpath property in the UDDI Utility Tools properties file:

UDDIUtilityTools.jar

This is the tools JAR itself and is located in app_server_root/UDDIReg/scripts.

com.ibm.uddi_1.0.0.jar

This file contains the UDDI4J classes and is located in app_server_root/plugins.

j2ee.jar

This file contains some required J2EE classes and is located in app_server_root/lib.

com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar

This is the Apache SOAP implementation and is located in app_server_root/plugins.

DbDriver

This is the driver needed to allow the UDDIUtilityTool to connect to your target database. See the table below for the values you need to specify for your chosen database:

DB2
Cloudscape

Oracle

DBDriverLocation for classpath on distributed, Windows and i5/OS platforms DB2_HOME/db2java.zip
app_server_root/derby/lib/derbyclient.jar

ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar
Driver on distributed, Windows and i5/OS platforms
com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver, or com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver if you are using a remote DB2 database (you can also set up a local alias to the remote database using the DB2 client)
com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
URL on distributed, Windows and i5/OS platforms jdbc:db2://host:database_name jdbc:db2j:net://host:1527/database_name (see note below)
jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:
database_name

where

app_server_root is the directory location of WebSphere Application Server.
DB2_HOME is the directory location of DB2, for example c:\Program Files\SQLLIB\java12\
ORACLE_HOME is the directory location of Oracle, for example c:\oracle\ora92\
database_name is the name of the database. For Cloudscape, make sure that database_name includes the path to the database, for example profile_root/databases/com.ibm.uddi/UDDI30

Notes:

If you are using Cloudscape, make the database network enabled so that it can handle multiple connections. Refer to the managing derby network server section of the Cloudscape information center for details on how to do this.
If you are using DB2, add DB2_HOME/sqllib/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBPATH environment variables.

The Security provider configuration section in the above properties file shows the location of the default DummyClientTrustFile.jks file. If you are using your own truststore, ensure that the location is placed here.
The UDDI Utility Tools use UDDI V2 SOAP inquiry and publish interfaces. These APIs are protected as described in Access control for UDDI registry interfaces. The UDDI Utility Tools also access the UDDI registry database through the database driver, and access to the database is controlled by the database management system.
The UDDI Entity Definition File You generate this file by the export and promote functions, or you can choose to create it (either by hand, or by modifying a version of the file output by UDDI Utility Tools specifying the export function). It is the input to the import function.
Note: The extension to the uddi:tModel type to add a 'deleted' attribute is not currently used in UDDI Utility Tools. The file is validated for well formedness and that it complies with the UDDI Utility Tools schema, shown here.

UDDI Entity Definition File example for canonical tModels
The example Entity Definition File following shows the five main sections for tModels, businesses, services, bindings and referencedTModels:
UDDI Utility Tools can be used to create new UDDI entities in a target UDDI registry. A typical example of this is to introduce a new canonical tModel, which has a publicly known tModel key.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <promote:uddiEntities xmlns="urn:uddi-org:api_v2" xmlns:promote="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/WebSphere/ UDDIUtilityTools">  <promote:tModels> <tModel tModelKey="uuid:ee3966a8-faa5-416e-9772-128554343571" > <name>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/policytmodel</name> <description>WS-PolicyAttachment policy expression</description> </tModel> <tModel tModelKey="uuid:ad61de98-4db8-31b2-a299-a2373dc97212" > <name>uddi-org:wsdl:address</name> <description xml:lang="en"> This tModel is used to specify the URL fact that the address must be obtained from the WSDL deployment file. </description> <overviewDoc> <overviewURL> </overviewURL> </overviewDoc> </tModel> </promote:tModels>  <promote:businesses> </promote:businesses>  <promote:services> </promote:services>  <promote:bindings> </promote:bindings>  <promote:referencedTModels> </promote:referencedTModels> </promote:uddiEntities>

Starting UDDI Utility Tools at a command prompt
Ensure that you are using the correct level of Java code by setting the PATH statement to include the Java code that is supplied with WebSphere Application Server. For example, from the command line, type: UDDI Utility Tools can be started using:

java - jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar <function> [options]

using a specified properties file that sets up classpath and other parameters, or it can be called using:

java CommandLineProcessor

where CommandLineProcessor is the class which processes command line arguments for UDDI Utility Tools, sets up configuration and invokes the appropriate function.

Note: Before executing UDDIUtilityTools.jar from the command line, ensure that you have edited the UDDIUtilityTools.properties file. If you have saved this properties file in a different directory from the directory containing the UDDIUtilityTools.jar file, make sure you specify the location of the properties file as part of the command line arguments. See the Setting up the configuration file section earlier in this topic for more details.
The usage is as follows:

Example

Usage: java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar {function} [options] function: -promote <entity source> Promote entities between registries -export <entity source> Extract entities from registry to XML -delete <entity source> Delete entities from registry -import Create entities from XML to registry where <entity source> is one of: -tmodel|-business|-service|-binding <key> Specify single entity type and key -keysFile | -f <filename> Specify file containing entity types and keys options: -properties <filename> Specify path to configuration file -overwrite | -o Overwrite an entity if it already exists -log | -v Output verbose messages -definitionFile <filename> Specify path to UDDI entity definition file -importReferenced Import entities referenced by source entities The following options override property settings in configuration file: -overwrite -log -definitionFile -importReferenced Example: java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -keysFile /uddikeys.txt

Below are a set of UDDI Utility Tools command line examples: To export a single business to the EDF file specified in a properties file in the current directory.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -export -business 28B8B928-2B2E-4EC9-A647-1E40651E4752
As above but this time using a keys file to specify the entities to be exported
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -export -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile01.txt
As above but also specifying verbose output to appear on the command line.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -export -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile02.txt -v
To import the contents of the default EDF specified in a UDDIUtilitiyTools.properties file in the current directory.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -import
As above but also specifying that referenced tModels should be imported into the target registry.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -import -importReferenced
To import the entities from an EDF at the specified location.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -import -definitionFile /myEDFs/entities01.xml
To import the entities from the default EDF including referenced tModels. Overwrite specifies that any entities excluding referenced tModels that are found in the target registry should be overwritten.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -import -overwrite -importReferenced
To promote a single service from a source to a target registry using the properties file at a specified location.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -service 67961D67-330F-4F14-8210-E74A58E710F3 -properties /UUT/myUUTProps.properties
To promote a set of entities specified in a keys file.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile03.txt
As above but specifying that existing entities in the target registry get overwritten.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile04.txt -overwrite
To promote a set of entities specified in a keys file including referenced tModels.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile05.txt -importReferenced
To promote a set of entities specified in a keys file but also create an EDF containing the promoted entities.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -promote -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile06.txt -definitionFile /myEDFs/entities02.xml
To logically delete a single tModel. Note that it is not possible to physically delete tModels.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -delete -tModel UUID:1E2B9D1E-E53D-4D36-9D46-6CCC176C466A
To delete all the entities specified in the keys file. Note that with the exception tModels all other entities will be physically deleted from the target registry.
java -jar UDDIUtilityTools.jar -delete -keysFile /myKeyFiles/keyFile04.txt

A keys file example Below is an example of the keys that are to be exported, promoted or deleted from the target registry:
# # Keys of entities to be exported, promoted from source registry or deleted from target registry # #
Note: keys must be comma separated and on SAME line #
Note: property names are case sensitive. ('tmodels=' will be ignored) businesses=97C77097-AC6C-4CA0-A6C4-452F7045C470, 4975E949-581F-4FCA-AD5F-E08280E05F9F services=BB3864BB-1578-4833-8179-14391F14791F bindings= tModels=273F1727-7BFF-4FB5-A1FD-BA5C45BAFD9C

Note: If the importReferenced property is set to true, the list of tModels in the referencedTModels section is imported to the target registry. Minimal entities are created if the referencedTModel is new. If the referencedTModel already exists it is never overwritten, regardless of the overwrite property value. This is so that commonly referenced tModels such as categorization tModels do not keep being updated unnecessarily.
Should you need to update a referencedTModel, manually move the referencedTModel definition to the tModels section in the entity definition file and set overwrite to true.
Content of the log files Below shows examples of contents of two of the log files produced by running the tool. Note that some comments have been added in square brackets and in italic to highlight important points within the log file. The first is the messages.log which shows successful and unsuccessful operations for export, import and delete functions:

Starting UDDI Utility Tools through the API UDDI Utility Tools provides a public API to functions for exporting, importing, promoting, finding and deleting UDDI entities. All of these functions can be invoked by using the PromoterAPI class. Usage of this class to perform these functions is typically to:

Create a Configuration object and populate it from a Properties object or from a configuration properties file.
Create a PromoterAPI object passing the Configuration in the constructor.
For keys based functions (export, delete and promote), set the keys by supplying a UDDIEntityKeys object, the location of the keys file, or, for one entity, by specifying an entity type and a key value.
Invoke the corresponding method for the function required: exportEntities, promoteEntities(boolean), importEntities, deleteEntities or extractKeysFromInquiry(FindTModel, FindBusiness, FindService, FindBinding, FindRelatedBusinesses).

There is some sample code for UDDI Utility Tools, demonstrating usage of the API classes, available from Samples Central.
The "low-level" API classes and methods have been deprecated in this release. Refer to the API documentation for details.
Known limitations with UDDI Utility Tools and workarounds
There are some known limitations with UDDI Utility Tools and a workaround for each. See UDDI troubleshooting tips for more information.
Embedded Cloudscape Restriction
The 'export' and 'delete' functions when referencing a source registry with an embedded Cloudscape database are supported. However, the 'import' and 'promote' functions are not supported when referencing a target registry because of a limitation with the UDDI registry when working with an embedded Cloudscape database. To allow the 'promote' and 'import' functions to work, the embedded Cloudscape database needs to be made network enabled. For information about configuring network Cloudscape, refer to the managing derby network server section of the Cloudscape information center.

Saving V3 entities with a supplied key

An example of saving a V3 business with a defined key is shown below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <Body> <save_business xmlns="urn:uddi-org:api_v3"> <authInfo>a399c4a3-6387-47cd-a1bd-91f7bb91bdd7</authInfo> <businessEntity businessKey="uddi:mycompany-p1.com:computers"> <name xml:lang="en">WithKey</name> </businessEntity> </save_business> </Body> </Envelope>

Known limitations with UDDI Utility Tools and workarounds There are known limitations with the UDDI Utility Tools and a workaround for each:

PublisherAssertions are not supported and will not be promoted.
Workaround: After the user has promoted the businesses that are related, he must recreate the publisherAssertion relationship.
Referenced businesses in service projections are not added automatically to the EDF in the same manner as referenced tModels.
Workaround: Add the referenced business that will 'own' the projected service to the EDF. If the business is not present in the target registry, it should be placed before the service's owning business in the EDF.
Cycle detection for service projections are not detected in the same manner as for referenced tModels.
Workaround: If a circular reference is present between two or more service projections, break the cycle by removing one of the projections temporarily, perform the import and update the changed entity to reestablish the cycle in the target registry.
tModels that were deleted (in the logical sense) in the source registry are imported and promoted as undeleted in the target registry. This is because, in the UDDI V2 specification, the deleted state of tModels is not exposed as API calls.
Workaround: After importing the tModel, perform a delete. This is done using the UDDI Utility Tools delete function, or any other UDDI registry API access method.
BindingTemplates referenced by hostingRedirectors are not added automatically to the EDF in the same manner as referenced tModels.
Workaround: Add the referenced bindingTemplate to the EDF.
Businesses referenced by an 'owningBusiness' keyedReference are not automatically added to the EDF.
Workaround: Import the referenced business into the target registry before importing the tModel that references it.
A few combinations of command line arguments are not validated and prevented, for example, it is possible to specify -import with -keysFile <path to file> in the same command, although the -keysFile is ignored.
