9.2.11 Configuration: Registry
The Registry Manager maintains a set of registries for caching WebSphere Commerce runtime data. If the data in the tables that are associated with a registry is changed, we will have to refresh that registry for the change to take effect. For example, if a new entry is added to the URLREG table, the UrlRegistry has to be refreshed. Otherwise, the WebSphere Commerce runtime environment will not recognize the new URL.
The Registry Manager can manage any registries registered to it, including customer-created registries. You can register a registry with the Registry Manager by defining a new registry under the registries node in the wc_instance.xml file.
To update registry components:
1. From the Configuration menu, click Registry. This displays a list of registry components for the site (Figure 9-14).
