Subscription and Notification Locate
Subscriptions are used to alert interested users in changes to structures made in BEA AquaLogic Service Registry. The Business Service Console allows you to create and manage subscriptions for monitoring new, changed, and deleted entities. The following entities can be monitored: providers, services, interfaces, and endpoints, as well as resources (WSDL, XML, XSD and XSLT). You can establish a subscription based on a set of entities in which you are interested or on a specific search query. Users can receive notifications about modified structures via email messages or they may view the modified entities under the Tools main menu tab in the My Subscription Results section.
