Field | Description |
Type | The asset type, Virtual Service. |
Name | (Optional). Name of the Virtual Service asset. The name of a Virtual Service asset must be NCName-conformant, meaning that: The name must begin with a letter or the underscore character (_). The remainder of the name can contain any combination of letters, digits, or the following characters: . - _ (that is, period, dash, or underscore). It can also contain combining characters and extender characters (for example, diacriticals). The name cannot contain any spaces. Furthermore, if the Virtual Service name contains any non-conformant character, upon publishing the Virtual Service to any gateway, the non-conformant character is simply replaced with the underscore character (_) in Mediator. However, in CentraSite the Virtual Service name defined by you is displayed. For more information about the NCName type, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#NCName Note: The name of a Virtual Service asset must be unique within an organization. If, for example, a Virtual Service asset with the same name already exists in the CentraSite registry, a warning message will be issued. |
Description | (Optional). The description for the Virtual Service. Note: This is the description information that users will see when they view this Virtual Service asset in the CentraSite user interfaces. Therefore, we recommend that you specify a meaningful description for each Virtual Service. |
Organization | The organization to which you want to add the Virtual Service. (The Organization list only displays organizations for which you have the Manage Assets permission or at least the Create Assets permission.) Note: Select the organization with care. You cannot change the organization assignment after the Virtual Service is added to the catalog. You can, however, export a Virtual Service from one organization and import it to another. |
Version | (Optional). The version identifier for the Virtual Service. You can enter any string in this field, that is, the version identifier does not need to be numeric. You can also leave the field blank. You can later create new versions of the Virtual Service to indicate that the Virtual Service has been updated. The default is 1.0. Examples: 0.0a 1.0.0 (beta) Pre-release 001 V1-2007.04.30 You can use any versioning scheme you choose. The version identifier does not need to be numeric. This is the "public" version identifier that CentraSite Control shows to users when it displays the list of services. In addition, CentraSite automatically generates a system version number, which is visible on the Virtual Service detail page. The system version number is independent from the version number you specify here. For more information, see the CentraSite User’s Guide. |
Create a Run-Time Policy | Select this check box to specify the behavior for the run-time policy (or policies) associated with the Virtual Service. If you select the check box, the run-time policy or policies associated with the Virtual Service will be created automatically when the Web Service is virtualized. If you do not select the check box, the run-time policy or policies will not be created when the Web Service is virtualized. You can only select the check box if you have the Manage Runtime Policies organization-level permission; without this permission, the check box is deactivated. |
