Maintain Registries

Maintaining registries involves the following procedures:

• Add the registry of a DevTest Server and then validate the registry.

  Note: See Configure Existing Registries for information about adding a registry from a release earlier than DevTest 7.5. For versions beginning with 8.0, the installation process automatically configures new registries.

• Update an existing registry and then validate the registry.
• Delete a registry from an DevTest Server that is no longer in service.
• Periodically, validate each registry that is listed in the Enterprise Dashboard.

To add a registry (DevTest 7.5.x):

1. Navigate to the LISA_HOME directory of a newly installed DevTest Server.
2. Copy _local.properties and rename the copy to local.properties.
3. Open local.properties for edit. Locate Section 1 - Enterprise Dashboard.
4. Uncomment the following line and substitute localhost or the valid hostname for somehost.

   lisa.enterprisedashboard.service.url=tcp://localhost:2003/EnterpriseDashboard
   

5. Save local.properties and exit.

To delete a registry:

1. Open the Enterprise Dashboard.
2. Select Configure from the Options menu.
3. Click the registry that you want to delete from the list of registries in the Registry column.
4. Click Delete.

   Note: If you delete a registry that runs on version 7.5 or later, you must also update the lisa.enterprise.dashboard.url property in the local.properties file for that registry.

   Note: Deleting a registry through the Registry Configuration page removes the registry from the dashboard. However, the historical data for that registry is not automatically purged from the database. For more information about purging historical data, see Purge Dashboard Data.

To update a registry:

1. Open the Enterprise Dashboard.
2. Select Configure from the Options menu.
3. Click the registry that you want to update from the list of registries in the Registry column.
4. Edit the Registry Name and Display Registry fields.
5. Click Save.

To validate a registry:

1. Open the Enterprise Dashboard.
2. Select Configure from the Options menu.
3. Click the registry that you want to validate from the list of registries in the Registry column.
4. Click Validate.

   The dashboard server queries the selected registry and displays the status, for example, is running.

5. Click OK.
