Enabling and configuring the IBM JazzSM service provider registry

If your environment uses Jazz for Service Management (JazzSM), you can configure the ObjectServer to register with the JazzSM service provider registry. The ObjectServer is registered as an event OSLC service provider. Registrations to JazzSM registries are configured and managed by the OSLC service provider registry table, registry.oslcsp.

About this task

Access to this table is granted only to the root user and administrators that have the OSLCAdmin role. Registrations cannot be updated. Registration records can be only inserted and deleted, not updated.

Procedure

  • To create a registration, insert a registration entry into the registry.oslcsp table.
    The following example shows a sample SQL INSERT command for the JazzSM service provider registry that runs on the host jazzsm.company.com, on port 9080, with the default credentials:
    INSERT INTO registry.oslcsp ( Name, RegistryURI, RegistryUsername, RegistryPassword )
    		VALUES ( 'MyRegistration',
    			'http://jazzsm.company.com:9080/oslc/pr',
    			'system', 'manager' );
    After the insert is made, the ObjectServer attempts to register the OSLC interface of the local ObjectServer with the defined JazzSM service provider registry. If the registration is successful, the registration URI that was created is stored in the RegistrationURI field. The Registered field is set to 1. If the registration is not successful, the Registered field is set to 0.
  • To remove a registration from a JazzSM service provider registry, delete the registration entry from the table.
    For example, to remove the registration that is shown in the previous example, use the SQL DELETE command that is shown in the following example:
    DELETE FROM registry.oslcsp WHERE Name='MyRegistration';
    If the registration record contains a registration URI that is registered with the defined JazzSM service provider registry, the ObjectServer deletes the record after you delete the row from the table.

What to do next

If a registration fails, see the ObjectServer log file.
