How to update the remote producer handle?
There are multiple ways to update the remote producer handle, two of them are given here:
1. By accessing the Portal Admin Console
2. By updating the Portal database directly
Both of these methods has pros and cons.
Updating via path 1 is a standard procedure and lot of documentation can be found on the web and oracle technical documentation website. It may take lot of time to update the remote producer handles depending upon the network, firewall and number of handles itself, since every update attempted via console will try to connect to the incorrect url first and should return error as a result before one can update it.
However going via path 2 requires little courage and technical expertise. Make sure you have a database backup before you attempt this path.
Steps to update the remote producer handles directly through database:
- Find all the producer details that need to be updated
- Verify along the table pf_consumer_registry to see if you need to update the producers
- Find the PRODUCER_ID and WSDL_URL from pf_consumer_registry table
- Update the WSDL_URL for the PRODUCER_ID that needed to be updated.
- Commit the transaction and verify the same using portal admin console.
If things go wrong, feel free to restore the database.
