The local WSDL promotion replace the current service WSDL and XSDs with new files supplied by the user.

Info
Changing a service with Local WSDL to a remote WSDL or vice versa is not supported


Info

DPOD only supports WSDL/XSD files that are located in the local:/// directory
DPOD does not support files in other locations such as the store:/// or temp:/// directories


  1. Choose one WSDL file
  2. Choose zero or more XSD files (note that you can select multiple files at once from the XSD file browser.)
  3. Click "Upload" - this will upload your new files to DPOD (not to the DataPower!)
  4. If the upload was successful, click on "Execute" to request a new WSDL validation/promotion

After clicking "Execute" the next message will appear

DPOD's internal process will monitor and collect pending requests every one minute.

Validation Flow

  1. DPOD will use a temporary domain on a monitored device that was chosen and created by the admin.
  2. First DPOD will execute a custom user script that will analyze the current service's WSDL and will return all the schema files used by the sevice
  3. DPOD will download all the WSDL/Schema XSD files of the current service
  4. DPOD will execute a second custom user script that will analyze the new WSDL/Schema XSD files and will replace all the references in the files so they will point to the correct DataPower paths
  5. DPOD will upload the new altered WSDL/Schema XSD files to the temporary domain and will create a new service that uses this WSDL
  6. The new temporary service will be created without any front side handlers, so it will not be accessible.
  7. After creating the temporary service, DPOD will check the its DataPower's WSDL compilation status.

Messages from the validation steps may return DataPower errors or messages about service with a random name such asĀ DD0396FC-D428-40E8-B64C-913824FD16D4 - this is the name of the temporary service used by DPOD
The same applies to message about the WSDL/
Schema XSD validation, they will be uploaded to the temporary domain local storage in local:///temp-service-name/ (e.g. local:///DD0396FC-D428-40E8-B64C-913824FD16D4/)

Promotion Flow

  1. DPOD automatically runs the validation flow and will continue to step 2 only if the validation was successful
  2. Upload the altered files from the validation steps to the DataPower, create directories if needed
    Existing files with the same names may be overriden.
  3. Export the original service
  4. Change the WSDL address in the export
  5. Import the origin service again.
  6. Check the WSDL status and the service operational state
  7. If the service is not up or the WSDL status is not okay - try to rollback the operation by uploading the original WSDL/Schema XSD files to local store and importing the service again with the original unchanged WSDL address
