Registry Services
Registry Services is a Jazz™ for Service Management integration service that provides the mechanisms through which Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) services, resources, and consumers can use the OSLC interface to work in an integrated service management environment.
Registry Services uses the provider registry to track the capabilities that are available in the environment and uses the resource registry to track the resources that can be managed for the environments. It tracks the resources that can be managed for the environments by using the resource registry. Maximo IT uses the provider registry and the resource registry to integrate multiple products.
Provider registry
The provider registry is a Registry Services directory that contains services that are provided by multiple products across different domains. The provider registry tracks all the service providers in an environment, provides information about how to contact them, and lists the type of action they perform.
As an OSLC consumer, when you create a selection window, a creation window, or a query interaction, you can configure the interaction to discover service providers in the provider registry.
The OSLC provider currently offers no support for registering the application's service providers to the provider registry.
Resource registry
The resource registry is a Registry Services directory that contains resources that are managed or tracked by multiple products across different domains.
As an OSLC consumer, you can use the resource registry to query resources. When you create a query interaction, you can configure the public URI of the provider record to point to the resource registry, and you can also configure the default PROVIDERREGISTRY end point.
The OSLC provider currently offers no support for registering the application's resources to the resource registry.
