Publishing documents to WebSphere Service Registry and Repository

When you have developed new documents, or new versions of documents that already exist in WSRR, you can publish them to WSRR by using the Eclipse UI.

To publish a document, or a new version of a document, to WSRR:

1. Switch to the Resource perspective.
2. In the Navigator view, right-click the document that you want to publish, then click WSRR > Publish Document(s). The Publish A Document To WSRR wizard opens.
3. In the wizard, check that the correct name is shown in the Name field and the correct document type is shown in the File type field.
4. Optional: Type a description in the Description field.
5. Optional: If a previous version of the document already exists in WSRR, type a new version number in the Version field so that you can distinguish this new version of the document.
6. If the document that you are publishing has any dependencies (e.g. WSDL imports or includes) then these must be resolved. The publish document wizard will attempt to resolve these dependencies automatically by searching on matching documents already in your workspace. If it is unable to resolve these dependencies then a warning will be displayed and manual action must be taken.

   You must take action if a listed dependency in the Dependencies table has a warning icon and a Status of Select Required. This indicates that duplicate documents were found that satisfy the dependency. To resolve these duplicates, click Select, which will show the list of all matching possible dependency documents in the workspace. Check the document that you wish to use as the dependency and click OK.

   If no suitable document could be found to satisfy the dependency you will have the option to add a document to the workspace. Click on Add to find and add a file to use as a dependency. If you wish to re-use documents that are already in WSRR as dependencies then you should retrieve these into your workspace first; for more information, see Importing documents from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to your local workspace.

   Note: If a dependency document itself has dependencies then these must also be resolved. You will not be able to move on to work with the next document or finish and publish until all dependencies have been resolved.
7. Use the Previous and Next buttons to view all the documents that you selected. If you choose to press Finish before previewing all documents to ensure that their details are correct, you will receive a warning message saying that you haven't viewed them all.
8. Click Finish. When the document has been published to WSRR, a confirmation message is shown.
