Managing UDDI Services from the Command-Line

You can invoke many UDDI Services administrative utilities from the command line. For example, you can import categorization schemes or other XML data, backup or restore a UDDI Services database, or reset the cryptography key used to generate UDDI authentication tickets. The following table lists the UDDI Services administrative utilities.

bootstrap

Imports XML data into a UDDI Services site. Any information you import must first be validated against the appropriate XML schema definition (XSD). For more information about importing data and obtaining the appropriate XSDs for validation, see UDDI Resources.

Syntax

bootstrap /f [drive:][path]filename [/u [user]]

Parameters

/f [drive:][path]filename

Specifies the drive (optional), directory (optional), and file to import.

[/u [user]]

The user name (publisher) under which the data is imported and owned by. If none is specified, defaults to System.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

• By default, this command is installed to %systemdrive%\Inetpub\Uddi\Bin. 
• This command is available only if the UDDI Services Database Components are installed.
• This command must be run from the computer hosting the UDDI Services database component for the site to which you want to import XML data.
• Only administrators can use the bootstrap command.

Examples

To import an XML file named mydata.xml under the System user, type:

bootstrap /f mydata.xml

To import an XML file named mydata.xml under a user named John, type:

bootstrap /f mydata.xml /u John

To import an XML file located in C:\Data named mydata.xml under a user named John, type:

bootstrap /f C:\Data\mydata.xml /u John

resetkey

Resets the cryptography key used to generate UDDI authentication tickets.

Syntax

resetkey [/now]

Parameters

[/now]

Forces an immediate reset of the cryptography key.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

• By default, this command is installed to %systemdrive% \Inetpub\Uddi\Bin.
• This command is available only if the UDDI Services Database Components are installed.
• Only administrators can use the resetkey command.

Examples

To view the current cryptography key timeout settings, type:

resetkey

To immediately reset the cryptography key, type:

resetkey /now

recalcstats

Recalculates statistics for a UDDI Services site.

Syntax

recalcstats

Parameters

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

• By default, this command is installed to %systemdrive% \Inetpub\Uddi\Bin.
• This command is available only if the UDDI Services Database Components are installed.
• This command must be run from the computer hosting the UDDI Services database component for the site you want to recalculate statistics.
• Only administrators can use the recalcstatscommand.

uddi.database.backup.cmd

Creates a backup of a local UDDI Services database to a file (Uddi.Database.bak).

Syntax

uddi.database.backup.cmd [Database Instance Name]

Parameters

[Database Instance Name]

The name of the local MSDE2000 or Microsoft SQL Server database instance where the UDDI Services database component is installed. If none is specified, the default database instance is used.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

• By default, this command is installed to %systemdrive% \Inetpub\Uddi\Bin.
• This command is available only if the UDDI Services Database Components are installed.
• This command must be run from the computer hosting the UDDI Services database component of which you want to create a backup.
• Only administrators can use the uddi.database.backup.cmd command.
• Data is backed up to Inetpub\Uddi\Data\Uddi.Database.bak
• Backups created using this tool contain physical paths and file names for UDDI data files specific to the current installation. For this reason, you cannot use this tool to migrate data from one UDDI Services site to another.

Examples

To back up a UDDI Services database hosted in the default database instance, type:

uddi.database.backup.cmd

To back up a UDDI Services database hosted in a database instance named "UDDI", type:

uddi.database.backup.cmd UDDI

Back to top

uddi.database.restore.cmd

Restores a UDDI Services database backup created with the uddi.database.restore.cmd command.

Syntax

uddi.database.restore.cmd [Database Instance Name]

Parameters

[Database Instance Name]

The name of the local MSDE2000 or Microsoft SQL Server database instance where the UDDI Services database component is installed and to which you want to restore the backup. If none is specified, the default database instance is used.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

• By default, this command is installed to %systemdrive% \Inetpub\Uddi\Bin. 
• This command is available only if the UDDI Services Database Components are installed.
• This command must be run from the computer hosting the UDDI Services database component to which you want to restore the data and from the same directory where the database backup file (Uddi.Database.bak) is located.
• Only administrators can use the uddi.database.restore.cmd command.
• Backups created using the uddi.database.backup.cmd tool contain physical paths and file names for UDDI data files specific to the current installation. For this reason, you cannot use this tool to migrate data from one UDDI Services site to another.

Examples

To restore a UDDI Services database hosted in the default database instance, type:

uddi.database.backup.cmd

To restore a UDDI Services database hosted in a database instance named "UDDI", type:

uddi.database.restore.cmd UDDI
