SOA Composer

SOA Composer is a web app,that will let you to edit the DVMs and Rules at run time.

DVMs will be either act as composite artifacts or shared artifacts. If you want to update the DVM that is within composites then you have to redeploy the composites. But when you have the DVM as part of shared artifacs like MDS, then you can use the SOA Composer page to edit / add new DVM values, without redeploying the composites to server.

1. You can access the SOA Composer at below url
http://:/soa/composer
2. You must have the SOADesigner application role to access SOA Composer metadata.
3. After you login you can see all the composites that uses DVMs in tabular format.
4. There is a search option available to find the DVM.
5. You can perform create, edit and delete DVM by using soa composer.
6. Like SVN you can leave description behind after every use.
7. You can either save the changes that you made to DVMs or commit the changes.
Save will keep a copy of your changes and commit will submit the changes to server.
8. SOA Composer will display error message, if there is any parallel edit happens to the DVMs.

Note: Some time you won't get the SOA Composer url working, just we need to target the application(b2bui) to admin server. That will resolve the issue and then you can see the web console of the SOA Composer.
