Editing an Endpoint

Properties and aspects of endpoints also change with time. Access points may change. Usage may be redefined. Compliance may be verified, or the endpoint may simply be taken off-line and put into maintenance to fix bugs or implement improvements.

To Edit an Endpoint...

  1. Log in if you have not already done so.

  2. Click on the Catalog tab to bring up the Catalog view.

  3. In the left side navigation pane click the Endpoints node. This will load the Endpoints view in the central panel.

  4. Find the endpoint you wish to edit. In the central panel, Either...

    ...Click the My endpoints link to get a view of all endpoints published under your user account.

    OR

    ...Click the List all Endpoints link and browse for the Endpoint record you wish to edit.

    OR

    ...Click the Search endpoints link and search for the Endpoint record you wish to edit.

  5. Click the Edit Icon for the endpoint you wish to edit. The Edit Icon is the one that looks like a pencil and pad of paper at the end of a record.

  6. Step through the Edit Endpoint Process

    1. Update the description and access points if these need updating.

    2. Click the Next > button.

    3. Update any of these aspects.

      • Usage - a short string whose meaning is reserved for the User or Registry Administrator to define.

      • Compliance - indicates whether or not the endpoint complies with a Web Services Interoperability specification.

      • Availability - Is the service available, degraded or down?

      • Status - Is the service operational, in maintenance, or being tested?

  7. Click the Finish button. A message that the endpoint has been republished will appear. Click the link formed by the endpoint's access point to inspect the newly published details.
