5 Using the SOAP Admin Tool
The SOAP Admin tool manages the Service Definition Repository (SDR).
In prior NonStop SOAP releases, the service provider edited an SDL document and
the SOAP server referenced the SDL file at run time. In NonStop SOAP 3.0, the
service provider must transfer the SDL information to the Service Definition Repository
(SDR), which is implemented as a Guardian Enscribe database. At run time, the
SOAP server references the SDR, instead of the SDL document. The SOAP Admin
tool then manages the SDR.
SOAP Admin Features
You can use the SOAP Admin tool to:
•
Transfer information from the SDL to the SDR.
•
Generate SDL.
•
Add, update, and delete records in the SDR.
•
Generate WSDL.
•
Generate user-exits based on SDL entries.
•
Generate sample SOAP requests and SOAP responses.
•
Generate DTD and Schema
•
Multicast administrative messages to all the instances of a Pathway_CGI SOAP
server.
Operations on the SDR:
•
Adds and updates an entry into the SDR. The input for update is an SDL
document.
•
Deletes an entry from the SDR. The input for delete is an SDL document.
•
Queries the repository based on a search criteria. The output of query is an SDL
document.

Note. Only services installed to the SDR are available to service consumers (SOAP clients).
