Can we change the names of existing web service proxys and wsrr subscriptions?

  • 1.  Can we change the names of existing web service proxys and wsrr subscriptions?

    Posted Tue April 20, 2021 01:07 PM

    When developers need a web service proxy, they submit a request to our team. They give us the name of the BusinessService they have created in WSRR. Although I had a standard established of naming proxies and subscriptions the same as the WSRR BusinessService, some of my team members decided they didn't like the BusinessService names the developers used so they named the web service proxy and wsrr subscription something different.

    Those team members have moved on and now we have developers requesting changes to those web service proxies and wsrr subscriptions using their BusinessService name (which is all they can see). My newer team members can't find them because they're named something different from what the developer is requesting.

    Is there a way to rename these existing web service proxys and wsrr subscriptions or will I need to delete and rename them to do that.

    Depends on the form factor you are running. If you running DP in Docker you can just edit the domain config file using a text editor, rename all the objects and just reload the domain. For others you'll have to delete and create them with new names. We used XML management interface to first fetch a WSP config with all the referring objects, then rename and send the altered config with a second SOMA request back to DP. You can delete the old config using the unaltered config that you got back from the first SOMA request. This can then be automated for example using Jenkins like we did for the delete logic.

    Thanks. We're not using DP in Docker. I thought a delete and re-create was what I needed to do, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
