Uddi

[=?Utf-8?B?UGhpbCBTaGFycA==?=]

Hi

I am trying to use Uddi as a directory service. In my development
environment it is fine however I have a problem when it comes to deploying
into my production environment.

I am deploying Uddi as a distributed component, database server plus app
server. Unfortunately the database server in production is a 64-bit SQL 2005
server.

Does anybody know if it is possible to install the Uddi database onto a 64
bit 2005 SQL Server and if so how?

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

Regarding on the UDDI service, do you mean the windows 2003 server's
built-in UDDI service? If this is the case, I'm afraid so far the UDDI
service of windows 2003 server only support MSDE or SQL server 2000 local
instances. When you installing the UDDI service, it will let you choose the
local database instance(SQL Server 2000) or create a new MSDE instance. If
what you want to do is backup the UDDI service data, I think you can
directly backup the database data in the MSDN or SQL 2000 instance to
another SQL Server instance.

Sincerely,

Hi Stephen

Yes i did mean the Windows 2003 server UDDi service. Is there another
version I should be using?

I know it only officially works with SQL 2000. However the following
knowledgebase article provides the work around for SQL 2005

http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=927230

The problem I have is that the UDDI component does not appear to be part of
the 64 bit version of Windows 2003 and when installing the Uddi database
component it will only install to the local machine.

Thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your further description, so your current server is of windows
2003 64 bit version, and also have a local SQL Serve 2005 64 bit instance,
correct?

Based on my research windows 2003 64 bit server does not support this UDDI
service. But I will help you ask some other windows server engineers to
confirm on this. I'll update you as soon as I get information.

Hi Phil,

I've discussed this issue with some other windows server engineers, they
have confirmed that currently windows 2003 server 64 bit edition doesn't
support the UDDI service. However, UDDI Services will be included in
Longhorn server 64-bit version.

Can you confirm if the workaround solution is fully supported. I have Windows
2003 enterprise edition 32-bit and want to install UDDI database components
on SQL 2005

HI Phil,

Regarding on the workaround in the kb article, it is supported for windows
2003 server 32bit edition and local SQL 2005 instance. And I haven't found
any other documented problem on this. If you meet any problem when
implement this workaround, you can contact CSS and refer to this knowledge
base article for specific troubleshooting.

thanks for the post. Is it only a local instance of SQL 2005 that is
supported? I was hoping to be able to install the UDDI database components on
a separate dedicated SQL 2005 server, then install the Web and Admin
components on a separate IIS server.

Hi Phil,

I'm afraid so far this UDDI service is restricted to local SQL server
instance. I haven't found information about using remote instance so far.

Hi Steven,

I was under the impression that UDDI supports a distributed configuration...
Or have I misunderstood the FAQ "Can I install UDDI Services in a
distributed manner?" question/ansver under System requirements and
Installation ?

I would very much like to know if this is realy the case since we are
planning to use a distributed solution for a future release.

Best regards

Hi Phil,

Some update information about the UDDI service with remote SQL Server
instance:

this is doable and you can do that. Basically you need to follow the steps:

====================
1. install UDDI database component on that box running SQL server;
2. On other servers, install UDDI web component(Note: do not select
to install UDDI database component);
3. Then the installation wizards will allow you to select a remote
SQL server instance as UDDI DB.
====================
