Modifying Virtual Service Details
Note:
Each tab on a Virtual Service asset's details page represents a collection of attributes called a Profile. The Virtual Service asset type has a unique set of profiles. However, an administrator can configure the Virtual Service asset type to display a customized set of profiles and attributes.
The following general guidelines apply when modifying the details of a Virtual Service asset in CentraSite Control:
*If you are not the owner of the Virtual Service, you cannot examine or modify the details of the Virtual Service, unless you have the View or Modify permission on the Virtual Service (granted though either a role-based permission or an instance-level permission).
*When you view the details page of a Virtual Service, you will only see profiles for which you have the profile-level View permission. You will only be able to modify the attributes of the profiles on which you have the Modify permission.
*Some attributes accept only specific types of information. For example, if the Virtual Service asset type includes a URL type attribute, you must supply a URL when you modify that attribute. Other attribute types that require a specific type of value include the Date and Email attributes.
*Some attributes are designed to be read-only. You cannot modify the read-only attributes even if you have the CentraSite Administrator role.
*If you want to change the name of a Virtual Service asset, make sure that the asset is unpublished from the appropriate gateways.
In this task you modify the basic and type-specific attributes for a Virtual Service asset. You can view the bindings, operations, WSDL file, associated schema files, and the external links to the WSDL and schema files.
*To modify the details of a Virtual Service asset
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Asset Catalog > Browse.
2. In the displayed list of asset types, select Virtual Service.
3. In the Assets pane, right-click the Virtual Service for which you want to modify the attributes, and click Details.
The Virtual Service Details page is displayed.
4. To modify the generic attributes of the Virtual Service that are displayed in the area labeled Basic Information, change values of the attributes in the respective data fields as required.
5. To modify the extended attributes of the Virtual Service that are displayed in the individual profiles, follow these steps:
a. Select the profile for which you want to modify the attributes.
b. Change values of the attributes in the respective data fields as necessary.
c. Repeat steps 5.a and 5.b for each profile for which you want to modify the attributes.
6. Click Save to save the updated changes.
Modifying an Input WSDL File
The Virtual Service asset includes a WSDL file and one or more associated files. You can upload a new file or update an existing file for the Virtual Service accordingly.
On the Actions menu, click Attach WSDL.
If you are attaching a WSDL file to the Virtual Service which already has a WSDL, the Virtual Service name in the new WSDL must be identical to the Virtual Service name in the existing one or the process will fail.
If you are attaching an abstract WSDL file to an abstract Service asset which already has a WSDL, the Virtual Service name in the new WSDL does not need to be identical to the Virtual Service name in the existing one. Select the Overwrite Service name check box to replace the name of the existing attached WSDL with the name of the new attached WSDL.
If you select the option Interactive resolution of Imports/Includes, and the attached WSDL contains an Import or Include reference to a WSDL that already exists in the registry, the Attach WSDL to ... dialog box allows you to choose whether to retain the existing WSDL or to replace the existing WSDL by a uploading a new one. If you choose to use upload a new WSDL, you can specify whether the new WSDL should overwrite the existing one, or whether a new version of the WSDL should be created. Regardless of whether you overwrite the existing version or create a new version, you can specify a user-defined version number of the uploaded WSDL in the User Version field.
If you select the option Interactive resolution of Imports/Includes, and the attached WSDL contains an Import or Include reference to a WSDL that does not already exist in the registry, the Attach WSDL to ... dialog box allows you to upload the WSDL. You can also specify a user-defined version number of the uploaded WSDL in the User Version field.
