Field | Description | |
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 with the same name already exists within the CentraSite registry, a warning message will be issued. By default, CentraSite populates the Create a New Virtual Alias field with the display name that was specified for the Native Service. | |
Type | The asset type, 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.) | |
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. The default is 1.0. Examples: 0.0a 1.0.0 (beta) Pre-release 001 V1-2007.04.30 | |
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. | |
Import a File | The input WSDL file for the Virtual Service. You may want to read the input WSDL file from a URL-addressable location on the network (the URL option) or from your local file system (the File option). | |
Option | Description | |
URL | If the WSDL file you are importing resides on the network, you can specify its URL. | |
File | If the specification resides in your local file system, specify the file name. You can use the Browse button to navigate to the required folder. |
Field | Description |
Credentials | If you have specified a URL and the site you want to access through the URL requires user authentication, type a username and password for authentication at the URL site. |
Resolution | Select a resolution strategy, which will allow you to specify how an already existing imported and included file is handled. For each of the imported and included files you have one of these options: Create new version: Creates a new version of the file with the new content (if, for example, you want to modify a WSDL file but want to retain its previous version). Always overwrite: Overwrites the importing file with new content. |
