tModel Operations

Technical Models, or tModels for short, are used in UDDI to represent unique concepts or constructs. This section introduces the basic operations performed on a tModel.

•	Creating a tModel

•	Editing a tModel

•	Removing a tModel

Creating a tModel

To create a tModel, follow these steps:

1.	Select New > tModel from the UDDI Service Console menu to open the New tModel page, as shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10 The New tModel Page

2.	Enter information in the following corresponding fields.

In the General Information tab:

−	Name (required): Enter the tModel name in the Name field. The tModel name can contain characters, numbers, and spaces, but leading spaces and trailing spaces are not allowed.

−	tModel Key (optional): Enter the tModel key in this field. The format of the tModel Key is uddi:yourServerDomainName:UniqueString. For example, uddi:mydomain.com:HRValidationTModel

The tModels with their UDDI keys beginning with uddi:uddi.org are system canonical tModels that should never be deleted or modified. Conversely, when creating a tModel, make sure the UDDI key provided does not begin with uddi:uddi.org. In addition to these types of tModels, those with the following UDDI keys are reserved and cannot be deleted or modified. • uddi:amx:keygenerator • uddi:297aaa47-2de3-4454-a04a-cf38e889d0c4 • uddi:70a80f61-77bc-4821-a5e2-2a406acc35dd • uddi:db77450d-9fa8-45d4-a7bc-04411d14e384 • uddi:cd153257-086a-4237-b336-6bdcbdcc6634

−	Description (optional): Enter a description of the tModel in the Description field.

−	tModel Type (required): Select a tModel Type from the tModel Type drop-down list.

−	Overview Documents (optional): Click the Add button to add a URL of the WSDL document.

In the Category Bag tab, click the Add button to add categories referenced by the tModel.

3.	Click the Save button.

Editing a tModel

After creating a tModel, if you want to change its information, follow these steps:

1.	Perform a search operation, and find the desired tModel in the object list pane of the Search Results page. For information on how to perform a search operation, see Searching for an Object.

2.	Select the desired tModel and click the Edit button in the upper right corner. The Edit button changes to the In Edit Mode button. All the tModel settings in the object information pane become editable, as shown in Figure 11.

−	Click the Cancel button to cancel the changes just made.
