The local WSDL promotion replaces the current service WSDL and XSD with new files supplied by the user.
| Warning |
|---|
In some cases, depending on the WSDL contents, the old WSEndpointRewritePolicy that is attached to the WS-Proxy can not be used with the new WSDL. |
Initiating a New Validate or Promote Local WSDL Request
Choose either Validate Local WSDL or Promote Local WSDL from the DevOps Services List to initiate the process
| Info |
|---|
| Changing a service with Local WSDL to a remote WSDL or vice versa is not supported |

After clicking "Execute" the following message appears
DPOD's internal process will monitor and start executing pending requests every one minute.
Validation Flow
- DPOD will use a temporary domain on a monitored device that was chosen and created by the admin.
- 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 service
- DPOD will download all the WSDL/XSD files of the current service
- DPOD will execute a second custom user script to analyze the new WSDL/XSD files and replace all the references in the files so they point to the correct DataPower paths
- DPOD will upload the new altered WSDL/XSD files to the temporary domain and create a new service that uses this WSDL
- The new temporary service will be created without any front side handlers.
- After creating the temporary service, DPOD checks the DataPower's WSDL compilation status.
| Info |
|---|
| Messages from the validation steps may return DataPower errors or messages about service with a random name such as DD0396FC-D428-40E8-B64C-913824FD16D4 - this is the name of the temporary service used by DPOD. The same applies to messages about the WSDL/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
- DPOD first runs the validation flow and will continue to step 2 only if the validation was successful
- DPOD uploads the altered files from the validation steps to the DataPower, and creates any directories if needed.
Existing files with identical names may be overriden. - DPOD exports the original service
- DPOD changes the WSDL address in the export
- DPOD imports the original service with the modified WSDL address.
- DPOD checks the WSDL status and the service operational state
- If the service is not up or the WSDL status is not ok - DPOD tries to rollback the operation by uploading the original WSDL/XSD files to local store and importing the service again with the original unchanged WSDL address
